Constable Ma didn't know I was also involved in the dog rescue incident. Even if he was in charge of everything, he couldn't stop me from entering the restaurant. That's why I followed him into the restaurant and he and the police officer behind him didn't stop me.
As a narcotics officer, Constable Ma always wore casual clothes in order to avoid alerting the enemy. This gray windbreaker was standard. However, the police officer behind him probably wasn't from the narcotics unit. From his attire, he seemed to be a police officer — — stopping a car to save a dog was not a major criminal case, so it should be handled by the police.
It was probably not the first time that Ma Huiyu had organized volunteers to stop cars and rescue cats and dogs on the highway. Because she was related to Officer Ma, and Officer Ma was on a day off today, after the police received the report, the leaders let Officer Ma come with the policemen out of various considerations.
In China, Weibo was everywhere and public opinion could crush people to death. The police chief was probably afraid that this kind of thing wouldn't be handled well and the police would be scolded online, so he specifically asked Constable Ma to come forward and persuade his relative, Ma Huiyu, to let the dog traffickers and volunteers solve the problem peacefully and not let the police have any complaints.
When I greeted Constable Ma earlier, I already took off my sunglasses and hung them on the collar of my t-shirt. I followed the police officer into the restaurant and immediately attracted a lot of attention.
I could tell what everyone was thinking just by looking at their expressions. Most of them must have thought: I must be a criminal since I have a ferocious appearance. I was caught by the police for some bad deed and was currently being escorted back to the police station.
But when they took a closer look, they realized my wrists and the police officer's were not handcuffed together. The police officer was also focused on walking behind the officer and had no intention of looking at me, so they couldn't understand what was going on.
"I can tell he's a bad person, why aren't the police catching him?" A diner at the edge of the restaurant whispered to his companion.
"Come on!" His companion slammed the table, "Your third uncle looks like a good person! A smiling tiger! You must have been scammed a lot when doing business with him, right? Who knows where he's now! "
The class leader, Ma Huiyu, and the others were sitting at a table with eight people by the window. The window was facing the dog transport truck that was 50 meters away.
The reason why they chose this position was probably because the Zeng brothers wanted to pay attention to the volunteers' movements other than taking care of the dogs. Ma Huiyu also wanted to have a view that could observe the outside environment at any time.
The class leader sat by the window and listened to the negotiation between Ma Huiyu and the Zeng brothers. She used her eagle eye to scan the passing cars and pedestrians in the garden square. She wanted to find out which car contained the stolen pets and who was the Zeng brothers' accomplice.
Ma Huiyu had witnessed Shu Sha's good eyesight on the highway. At that time, Xiao Ding, who was still holding the binoculars, had yet to make a final confirmation, but Shu Sha had already seen the license plate number of the big truck and told everyone to get ready to stop it.
The class leader, who had been staring out the window, had already noticed me. She nodded at me as a greeting when she saw me walking over.
The Zeng brothers sat on the right side of the eight-man platform, leaving two empty seats.
On the left side of the eight-person platform, the class leader, Ma Huiyu, and the chubby rich lady named Xu were seated. She promised to treat the Zeng brothers to breakfast, so she also appeared.
"Humph! Go ahead and eat! Are you going to be full after eating this? Why don't you just stuff yourselves to death! "
The rich woman was carrying a high-end handbag, and her clothes were low-key but luxurious. The heavy makeup on her face had been washed away in the bathroom, and her face unexpectedly revealed a peaceful and peaceful attitude as if she had been a vegetarian for a long time. However, when it came to dogs, she immediately became paranoid.
The Zeng brothers only had half a plate of chicken left in their hands. They were burping and it seemed like they couldn't eat anymore.
The dishes the rich lady ordered for the Zeng brothers were more than just breakfast, they could even be compared to lunch. Also, each dish was greasier than the last. Other than the chicken, there was also tiger skin shank, braised pork, twice-cooked pork, steamed rice noodles … I seriously suspect the rich lady wanted them to eat until they had high blood fat and hardened their arteries.
The Zeng brothers' side was a mess, while the class leader's side only had soft drinks. The volunteers already gave out bread on the way to the highway, so they weren't hungry.
"Eat! Don't you guys love eating animals! Let's see if you guys don't get karma! "
The rich lady would insult the Zeng brothers from time to time. The Zeng brothers felt like they didn't suffer any losses since the rich lady was treating them, so they ignored her. After eating, they focused on discussing the price of selling the dogs with Ma Huiyu.
"Hey, isn't the 'Chairman Niu' behind you guys rich and imposing? Why aren't you willing to spend ¥100,000? "The pale faced Zeng Laoliu asked while picking his teeth.
The dark-faced Boss Zeng picked up another chicken leg and wondered if he still had the strength to fight in that area.
"Shu Sha, what's the current market price for a live dog?" Ma Huiyu didn't directly respond to Zeng Laoliu. Instead, she clasped her hands on the table and asked Shu Sha like she was asking a secretary.
The class leader had already done her homework beforehand and answered without hesitation: "In Dong Shan city, a live dog is 10 to 13 yuan per catty, but that's the retail price. The wholesale price is usually only 8 yuan per catty. The average weight of a meat dog is between 20 to 30 catty, so the average price of each dog is 200 yuan. We've already counted the dogs in the truck, there were less than 200, only 188. Even if we calculate according to 200, we would only need 200 x 200 = ¥40000 …"
Damn, class leader, why did you come here to do math problems? You really didn't waste your time as a student! You didn't even forget to study during the summer vacation!
"Did you hear that?" Ma Huiyu waited for Shu Sha to finish, then she looked at the Zeng brothers with half squinted eyes, "You guys are asking for ¥100,000 for a dog that can be bought for ¥40,000. That's not how you make money."
"Do you want to buy it or not? If you don't want to buy it, we'll take it away! " Zeng Laoliu put down the drumstick and yelled, causing the few diners in the restaurant to look at him.
"Is it another rescue?" A diner whispered, "This is the third time this month, these dog fans are really free."
"By the way, if they really buy a 40,000-yuan dog for ¥10, then I'll have to transport the dog tomorrow as well! I'm afraid no volunteers will rob me! "
Zeng Laoliu waved his hand to calm his brother down, "Brother, don't worry, we have to make up for our losses. Let me talk to them."
"You're the one who's a grandson!" The rich woman scolded, "Your whole family is a grandson!"
"Fuck, how dare you curse …" Zeng Laoliu stood up and was about to hit the rich woman, but Zeng Laoliu pulled him back.
"Brother, there are surveillance cameras here, don't bother with this fat woman. Isn't she treating us? Let's drink a bottle of Maotai first, I can still drive if you're drunk! "
I couldn't be sure if Maotai was real or not in this kind of restaurant, but the price was probably more expensive than real Maotai. Zeng Laoliu smirked and ordered a bottle from the waiter.
"We only have Maotai Prince Liquor here, is that okay?" The waiter in the red uniform bowed and asked.
"Anyway, bring me your most expensive liquor!" Zeng Laoliu knocked on the table. He was already drunk before he even drank the liquor.
"One bottle isn't enough, bring him two bottles!" The rich woman said, "Shanxi fake liquor is the best! I'm going to watch him drink to death! "
The waiter said with a bitter face, "We really don't have Shanxi fake liquor here …"
Although I walked near the negotiation table and exchanged glances with Shu Sha, I didn't hurry to sit on the volunteer's side and reveal my identity. Instead, I stood a bit further away and watched the show. I wanted to see how the situation was progressing.
Constable Ma probably had the same idea as me, so he didn't immediately approach. However, Ma Huiyu already noticed him and glanced at him like she was annoyed, which made him feel quite uncomfortable.
Ma Huiyu once told the class leader that she was 26 years old. She should have just graduated from university a few years ago. Maybe she was still in graduate school or a PhD. She, who participated in the animal rescue operation, felt like she was participating in the May Fourth Movement. She was full of passion and had a clear distinction between love and hate. Every move she made showed a great sense of mission and responsibility.
She wasn't very beautiful, but her passion and confidence added points to her appearance. Her clothes were also light and fitting. It was obvious that she belonged to the 'action faction' or even the 'combat faction' of animal protectionists. In addition, she did look a bit similar to Constable Ma, so they were probably relatives.
Boss Zeng was drinking with his head down and didn't notice that there were policemen on the scene. Sixth Zeng saw the young policeman behind Officer Ma and realized that Officer Ma was a plainclothes policeman with a higher position. At this moment, it was even more inappropriate for him to fight with the volunteers.
Thus, he tapped the table with his fingers and said slowly: "In Dong Shan city, our car of dogs can only sell for 40 or 50 thousand, but Guangzhou is different! There's a high demand for dog meat in Guangzhou. We sold it for 15 yuan a catty in Guangzhou's Baiyun district … "
"That's still impossible to raise the total price to 100 thousand!" Ma Huiyu said angrily, "Also, if you sell the dogs now, you don't have to run the rest of the way to Guangzhou! What about the time and gas money you'll save? "
"We're still going to Guangzhou regardless of whether you buy the dogs." Zeng Laoliu smiled evilly, "I have a girlfriend in Guangzhou. She can help me, but you can't …"
Wow! How dare you take advantage of these female volunteers verbally? How dare you take advantage of the class leader verbally? I'm the only one who can take advantage of the class leader!
I was so angry that I wanted to go over and scold him. However, Constable Ma's face darkened and he was one step ahead of me. He took out his right hand from his pocket and balled it into a fist. It looked like he was about to punch Zeng Laoliu's head.
Huh? Why can't you keep your cool! You're going to be on the news if you hit a dog dealer! Unscrupulous reporters will dig out your relationship with Ma Huiyu and accuse you of favoring your family. You might even lose your position as the drug squad leader!
