The waitress was called Ge Yunyun. She was an international student and worked in a restaurant during her spare time.
She could earn some tuition money and practice English.
The owner of this restaurant, Brother Liao, took good care of his employees, so Ge Yunyun was quite happy in the restaurant.
Of course, she would occasionally encounter some troublesome customers.
"Sir, the two of you have spent a total of 32 yuan," Ge Yunyun reminded.
A man wearing a gold chain spread his hands. "No, I have already paid."
Ge Yunyun was stunned. "I'm sorry, did you remember wrong? I really didn't receive your money."
The other foreigner grinned. "Oh my god, what do you mean? Are you discriminating against us because I didn't pay for my meal?"
"No, I didn't mean that. I just said …"
The foreigner wearing the gold chain said, "Listen, I still have something to do. I don't want to waste any more time. Do you understand what I mean?"
"Sir, I'm sorry, I'm just a worker …"
The foreigner wearing the gold chain pointed at Ge Yunyun. "I have a lawyer. Do you know that? I can call him over once I make a phone call. "
"Yes, I know, but you really didn't give me money."
The thick-lipped foreigner became angry. "Okay, call your boss over. I'm going to sue this restaurant. I'm going to sue them for discrimination. I want them to pay for it …"
Ge Yunyun bit her lips. "Sir, we have cameras."
The foreigner wearing the gold chain laughed. "Oh my god, why didn't you tell us in advance that you have cameras in your restaurant? Are you trying to invade our privacy?"
Ge Yunyun quickly said, "No, some customers have bad memories and forget to pay for their meals. The cameras are just to remind them."
The thick-lipped foreigner cursed. "F * ck you, we have already paid. It's on the table. Do you want to go back and have a look?"
"Of course, please come with me." Ge Yunyun made a "please" gesture. If these two foreigners ran away, she wouldn't be able to catch them.
Ge Yunyun had encountered this kind of thing more than once.
The foreigner wearing the gold chain swayed his body and walked to the table in time.
The thick-lipped foreigner followed behind.
Ge Yunyun walked to the table and glanced at it. There were no banknotes on the table except for plates and leftovers.
"Sir, there is no money on the table."
"Oh, how is that possible? Did someone else take it? I heard from a waiter that there are a lot of thieves in Chinese restaurants, and they like to steal from us locals." The foreigner wearing the golden chain kept a beat as he spoke, intentionally or unintentionally standing in front of Ge Yun.
"Sir, if you can't find your money, we can check the surveillance footage. Please don't slander our restaurant," Ge Yunyun said coldly. She had had enough of the two people's unreasonable behavior.
After all, this was someone else's territory, so Ge Yunyun had to suppress her anger.
If it was in China, she would never have mistreated herself, and no one would dare to bully her like this.
"Oh my god, what is this? What did I see in the plate? A big cockroach!" The thick-lipped foreigner said in an exaggerated tone.
"Sir, please don't talk nonsense. It's impossible for our restaurant to have … ah …"
Before Ge Yunyun could finish, the thick-lipped foreigner grabbed a cockroach with a napkin and rubbed it against Ge Yunyun's face.
Ge Yunyun was so scared that her face turned pale. She fell to the ground on her butt, looking very embarrassed.
"Haha." The thick-lipped foreigner showed a mocking expression. "Tell me, what is this?"
"Sob sob …" Ge Yunyun finally couldn't help but cry. These two foreigners were more than 1.9 meters tall, and they were bullying a girl who was more than 1.6 meters tall.
At this moment, she wanted to go home, not to the dormitory, but to the other side of the Pacific Ocean.
At this moment, Brother Liao walked over with a smile. "Xiao Ge, you go ahead. I'll handle this."
Xiao Lei waved his hand. "Xiao Ge, come here."
"Who are you?" The foreigner wearing the golden chain asked.
Brother Liao sized up the two black men. "I'm George, the person in charge of the restaurant."
The thick-lipped foreigner shook the cockroach in his hand. "What is this?"
"Sir, our restaurant disinfects every day. There can't be cockroaches in the restaurant."
The foreigner wearing the golden chain had an exaggerated expression. "Oh my god, what do you mean? Do you think we brought this cockroach here?"
Brother Liao spread his hands. "I didn't mean that."
The foreigner wearing the golden chain said condescendingly, "Listen, you have to give me an explanation. You understand."
Brother Liao smiled and sized up the two foreigners again. "Okay, it's my treat today. It's on the house."
The foreigner wearing the golden chain shook his index finger. "No, do you think we're beggars? Even if I agree, my lawyer won't agree. I ate a cockroach in my plate. You have to compensate me. Otherwise, wait for my lawyer's letter."
Brother Liao's smile became colder. He glanced at the cockroach in the foreigner's hand. He wasn't sure if the surveillance cameras had captured it. He hesitated for a moment. "Okay, this 50 yuan is my compensation."
The foreigner wearing the golden chain grinned, revealing his white teeth. "There are two of us. Do you understand?"
Brother Liao took out a 50 yuan piece of paper and a pen from his wallet and handed the two bills to the foreigner.
The foreigner wearing the golden chain grabbed the money and kissed it.
"For the sake of money, I'll give you a piece of advice. It's best to fire that chick. She's an idiot. Find a plump black chick, and this Chinese restaurant's business will be better."
The thick-lipped foreigner patted Brother Liao's shoulder. "We'll come again. Be smarter next time."
Then, the two foreigners laughed and left the restaurant with their arms around each other's shoulders.
"You're welcome to come again." Brother Liao wiped his shoulder with a napkin and sneered.
"Interesting."
The other customers were also affected by the two foreigners' ruckus. Some of them didn't eat at all and left after paying.
Most of the foreigners were well-mannered. Even if they didn't finish, they would still pay.
Of course, they couldn't help but complain before leaving, and their impression of the restaurant would be worse.
Regardless of who was right or wrong, whether it was the restaurant's fault or not, this incident had a great impact on the restaurant.
After a few more incidents, the restaurant would close down.
Ge Yunyun walked over with tears in her eyes. "Brother Liao, I'm sorry. I didn't do a good job. I …"
Brother Liao smiled. "It's not a big deal. Don't be too sad."
Ge Yunyun hesitated for a moment. "Brother Liao, I'll pay for them. You can deduct it from my salary."
"The restaurant doesn't need your money." Brother Liao patted Ge Yunyun's shoulder. "It's getting late. Pack up and get off work early. Have a good rest. Remember to come early tomorrow."
Ge Yunyun was touched. "Brother Liao, thank you."
Brother Liao nodded. "Ge, there are many people like this. I can't always be by your side. You have to learn to protect your own interests."
"I understand. I'll learn to become stronger." Ge Yunyun wiped away her tears and walked more firmly.
Brother Liao returned to his table, stirred his food with a fork, and continued to eat the noodles.
Lei placed a bowl of duck soup on the table. "Brother Liao, eat while it's hot."
Brother Liao took a sip of the soup and praised, "Today's soup is pretty good."
Lei smiled. "It's been a long day."
Brother Liao put down his spoon. "Does this happen often?"
"These gangsters are not very particular. They will come every few days. They are all bullies and fear the strong. They don't dare to go to other restaurants, so they come to Chinese restaurants to cause trouble." Lei said helplessly.
Brother Liao asked, "Did you call the police?"
Lei sighed. "It's useless. The police only gave a few warnings. More people will come the next day. Don't even think about doing business."
"It's easy to meet the King of Hell, but it's hard to deal with the little rascals," Brother Liao muttered.
For most of the people, the murderer was far away. The hooligans were the real threat, but there was no way to punish them.
"Brother Liao, why are there bad people everywhere?"
Brother Liao smiled. "They are all good people. What's the point of this world?"
Lei complained, "Sigh, I have a headache dealing with these hooligans. Every time they come, they affect my business."
Brother Liao wiped his mouth. "Call me the next time they come."
…
On the other side of the Pacific Ocean.
Yu Hua Branch Office.
Criminal Investigation Team 3, Team 2 office.
6 PM.
The team members returned to the office one after another.
Seeing that almost everyone had arrived, Ma Jingbo held a case summary meeting.
Only by summarizing the case in time could they find the key evidence from the messy clues.
"Ahem …"
Ma Jingbo coughed. "Before the meeting, let me say something first. During this period, everyone needs to work and rest. Keep your body in a good condition so that your immunity will not drop."
"If you have a fever or are not feeling well, let me know immediately."
"Alright, back to business. Let's talk about the case."
"I'll go first. Li Hui and Xiaopeng are watching the traffic police surveillance center with me. I know what they know, so I didn't ask them to come back. They stayed there to continue watching the surveillance." Ceng Ping flipped open his notebook.
"We checked the GPS track of the BMW. On the morning of January 31st, the car left Zhao Xiaoshan's house and drove to Fulong Feed Factory. There were a total of 36 stops along the way. After comparing the Skynet surveillance, we found that 33 of the stops were at traffic lights, and there were three stops that Skynet couldn't find."
"The first stop was at the east side of Tianshan Shopping Mall for about seven minutes. The second stop was near the Telecom Building on Huaili Road. The third stop was near Sanyuan Village on Qingbin Road. The fourth stop was at Fulong Feed Factory."
"We've checked the surveillance cameras around the four stops to look for suspicious vehicles and people. However, we haven't found anything unusual yet."
After Ceng Ping finished speaking, Ma Jingbo took over the conversation. "Investigation has always been a process of accumulation. We didn't find anything this time because we didn't have enough clues, so we couldn't cross-reference them."
"Other than Zhao Xiaoshan, there are also two other victims. We also need to investigate the vicinity of their disappearance. If we compare the surveillance cameras near the crime scenes, we will be able to find suspicious people and vehicles."
Tian Li, who was standing on the side, said, "I've contacted the families of the other two victims. Ren Jianhua's family is not from here. When Ren Jianhua first disappeared, his parents came to Qingdao to report the case, but the police couldn't find any clues.
"Yesterday, I contacted Ren Jianhua's family. His father is already rushing over here. He should be able to arrive at the police station tomorrow morning."
"What about Cao Da's family?"
"His situation is a bit more complicated. His family has come into contact with outsiders and is still in isolation. When the quarantine is lifted, I will immediately inform his family to make a statement. "
"Han Bin, how's your investigation going?"
"I went to Chen Xia's house and gave her a statement. According to Chen Xia, the reason why she contacted Zhao Xiaoshan was to persuade him to leave his daughter, but Zhao Xiaoshan was unwilling. Chen Xia even found someone to teach him a lesson."
Ma Jingbo took the opportunity to say, "In other words, Chen Xia was the one who ordered Zhao Xiaoshan to be beaten up last time."
"That's right, Chen Xia has a close friend called Wang Yanru. This woman has some connections in society, and she was the one who helped find someone to teach Zhao Xiaoshan a lesson. From the current situation, the two's confessions match up, so Chen Xia's suspicion can be temporarily eliminated."
Du Qi walked over with a cup of hot water. "What do you think is wrong with the current society? Women are all so hostile."
Zeng Ping yawned, "Du Qi, you brat, you ran back. Is there anyone watching over the Zhang brothers?"
"It's fine, the two auxiliary police are watching. Although they are young, they can endure hardships."
Du Qi sat back in his chair and continued, "Superintendent Yu summoned Old Liu from the Fulong factory to the police station. I gave him a statement. Old Liu's fingerprints and DNA have also been sent to the technical team."
"What's this Old Liu's name?"
"His name is Liu Yadong. He's 60 years old this year. He's from the Northern Manor Village, not far from Cheng 'an Village."
Zhao Ming continued, "It's impossible for that BMW to fly into the factory, it must have entered from the main gate. If I were to say, other than the Zhang brothers, this Liu Yadong is the most suspicious."
Ma Jingbo pondered for a moment, "Although it's not common to hide keys near the door, there are still quite a few."
"If it's a day or two, maybe no one will discover it. But sooner or later, someone will find out."
"There are definitely more people who can get the key than we think. The scope of the investigation is not just the Zhang brothers and Liu Yadong."
Han Bin spun his pen, "I agree with Captain Ma's words. If we really want to investigate, the other employees of the Fulong Feed Factory must also be investigated. Not only do we have to give them a statement, we also have to collect their fingerprints and compare them with the fingerprints on the car."
"This workload will not be small. It would be fine if it was just a local one. If it was an employee from another city, it would be very difficult to summon them to Qingdao City. "
"Then I'll investigate this personally." After Ma Jingbo finished speaking, he glanced at everyone again, "It's been three days since January 31st. The victim is in a very dangerous situation. We need to increase our work efficiency and rescue the victim as soon as possible."
Ma Jingbo's tone was solemn, "I believe that everyone doesn't want to find a cold corpse after solving the case."
