A farce is finally over.
The matter of Han Shaokang carrying M medicine is not over yet, he has to follow the clues to find the person who sells M medicine, so as to prevent more people from being victimized.
Zhang Shungu came over, "Team Han, there is something wrong with the back kitchen."
"What's wrong?"
"After being interrogated, a chef ran into the back kitchen while no one was looking. I followed after I saw him and found that he had hidden some meat products."
"Look and go."
Han Bin went to the back kitchen. A man in a chef's uniform stood in front of the chopping board, and two police officers sat on either side of him, one on the left and one on the right.
Han Bin sized him up, and the man looked a little nervous, "What's your name?"
"My name is Wei Changsheng, and I'm the chef of this restaurant."
"Why did you come to the back kitchen just now?"
"I... my dad likes to eat mutton very much, but mutton is more expensive, and I usually don't want to eat it, so I want to take some home and make it for him."
"Are you stealing from the restaurant?"
"No, no, it's not stealing."
"Does your store manager know?"
Wei Changsheng hesitated, then shook his head, "I don't know."
"Then tell me, what is this if it's not stealing?"
"It's really not stealing. You don't know much about our industry. Chefs like us... how should I put it. Let me tell you, our restaurant management is relatively strict. Some ingredients can only be used on the same day, and they will not be given to customers after today. Eat it. It’s a pity that these ingredients are blind, and we sometimes take them home to eat.”
Han Bin said, "I've only heard that there are endless ingredients in the kitchen, and chefs can eat whatever they want, but I haven't heard that they can take them away."
"Our restaurant is different from other restaurants, because we are a barbecue restaurant, which is not suitable for big pot meals. It is stipulated that we can bring ingredients home to eat, which is also a benefit for employees."
Although Han Bin felt that this statement was a little unreliable, after all, every other restaurant was like a mountain, and some restaurants might be special.
"Before, the police have clearly said that the ingredients in the store must be sealed and tested. Didn't you hear that?"
"I heard it. I just think it's a pity that all these ingredients are sent for inspection. They can't be eaten after the inspection. What a waste. And the inspection doesn't require too many ingredients, so I just want to take some away."
Wang Xiao said, "You didn't take some, but most of the lamb chops, and hid them on the top of the cabinet. No matter how you look at it, it seems that you have deliberately hidden them."
There is a set of cabinets on the wall of the back kitchen, about the height of a person, and there is a gap of more than ten centimeters from the top of the cabinets to the roof. It is difficult for normal people to see the ingredients in that gap.
"Comrade police, what I said is true, I just want to take it home for the elderly to eat."
Han Bin walked to the table in the back kitchen and checked the ingredients on it. They were all lamb shoulder steaks, worth dozens of dollars.
"Do you know Chen Zihe?"
"Who is Chen Zihe?"
"The one who died."
"I don't know him, I've never seen him, I'm just busy in the back kitchen."
"Then why did you poison him?"
"Comrade policeman, I am wronged. I have never been out of the kitchen. How could I poison him to death?"
"I have seen his dining table, and there is lamb shoulder steak among them, indicating that he may have died of poisoning from eating lamb shoulder steak. Your behavior of hiding lamb shoulder steak makes me suspect that you are the murderer."
Wei Changsheng was so frightened that his teeth chattered, "Comrade policeman, Chen Zihe's death has nothing to do with me. These lamb shoulder chops are all good and not poisonous. If you don't believe me, I can cook them for you."
Han Bin smiled, "Don't tell me, I haven't lived enough."
"What are you talking about? I dare not harm you. These lamb shoulder chops are really not poisonous."
Han Bin said solemnly, "Wei Changsheng, let me tell you, the consequences of deceiving the police are very serious."
"I know."
"you do not know.
Now it involves a case of intentional homicide, regardless of your purpose, as long as it affects the police investigation, it can be considered as obstructing law enforcement and official duties. This crime can be punished, understand? "
Wang Xiao patted him on the shoulder, "Dude, think about it clearly, all three generations of a family will be affected."
Wei Changsheng lowered his head, his face full of tangled expressions.
"speak?"
Wei Changsheng clutched his chest, "I'm not feeling well, I want to take a rest, I can't breathe."
"Do you need to call 120 for you?"
"No, I'm just nervous, just take a break."
Han Bin waved, "Take him to the restaurant next door to rest."
"yes."
A criminal case occurred in the mall, and the entire mall has been cleared. It is no problem for Han Bin to borrow any store.
Han Bin said, "Call Liu Ping, the manager of the restaurant?"
Not long after, Feng Na called Liu Ping in.
Han Bin re-examined the other party, a very capable person in his thirties, "Mr. Liu?"
"How long have you worked at this store?"
"It's been more than three years."
"How long have you been a store manager?"
"It's been over a year."
"What do you do in the restaurant?"
"Except for the financial aspect, I will be in charge of other work."
"You also manage the back kitchen?"
"yes."
"Who is the head chef in your back kitchen?"
Liu Ping said, "Our restaurant is different from other restaurants. It mainly focuses on barbecue. The main job of the chef is to divide and marinate the ingredients. The work of the back kitchen is relatively simple, and the requirements for the chef are not high, so there is no head chef. Position."
"Oh, then you have a lot of power."
"Okay."
"How do you deal with some ingredients that can't be used up in the day?"
"If it can be frozen, we usually keep it frozen. If it can't be frozen, we usually let the employees eat it, and we will never let the guests eat it the next day."
"What if the employees can't finish eating?"
Liu Ping said, "Throw it away."
"Would it be a shame to throw it away, and is there any possibility for employees to take it home to eat?"
Liu Ping pursed her lips and glanced outside, "The company doesn't have explicit regulations, and we don't encourage them very much, but sometimes some ingredients are difficult to preserve, and it's a pity to throw them away. Some chefs will take them home to eat, and I will also Open one eye, close one eye."
"In other words, your restaurant tacitly allows the chef to take the leftover ingredients home."
Liu Ping nodded, "Yes."
Wang Xiaodao, "This kind of regulation in your restaurant is quite strange. If you continue to do this for a long time, how will you manage the back kitchen? Isn't it a mess? It is inevitable that some people will steal the ingredients from the restaurant home for selfish reasons."
"You are right, we will strengthen management in the future."
"How long has Wei Changsheng been in the store?"
"About a year."
"How is the work situation?"
"It's okay, it's quite hard-working."
"Did he bring home ingredients from the restaurant before?"
Liu Ping hesitated, "Yes."
"You didn't stop it?"
"Those ingredients have been marinated, and there is no way to refreeze them. They will not be fresh if they are eaten tomorrow. It would be a pity to throw them away. He wanted to take them home, so I agreed."
"Has there been any food poisoning in your store before?"
"No, absolutely not. Our restaurants use the freshest ingredients, not only to ensure the health of our customers, but also to ensure the taste."
Han Bin said, "Let's talk about this first, you go out first."
"Captain Han, when will the investigation of our restaurant end?"
"It's hard to say."
"Then when can we reopen."
"Wait for the notice."
Liu Ping sighed softly and left the back kitchen.
Han Bin ordered, "Call in the chefs of the restaurant, and I will ask them one by one."
"yes."
Not long after, another chef walked in, tall and thin, who looked about the same age as Han Bin.
"what is your name?"
"My name is Hao Shaobo."
Han Bin pointed to the chair opposite, "Sit down and talk."
"Hao Shaobo, how long have you been working in this restaurant?"
"It's been a year."
"Working in the kitchen all the time?"
"No, I was a restaurant waiter at the beginning, and sometimes I would come to the restaurant to help out. Later, the store manager saw that I was doing well in the back kitchen, so he asked me to transfer to the back kitchen as a chef."
"It seems that your cooking skills are good."
"It's okay. I'm mainly in charge of cutting and pickling. It's relatively simple. Our restaurant is a chain restaurant, and it's basically industrialized."
"Will there be leftover ingredients after your restaurant closes?"
"Yes, any restaurant will have it."
"How to deal with it?"
"If it can be refrozen, it's usually frozen."
"What if it can't be frozen?"
"Then eat."
"I can't finish it."
"Throw it away."
"It's a pity to throw it away, why don't you take it home?"
Hao Shaobo smiled, "This is definitely not possible. If this opening is opened, the kitchen will be in chaos. Everyone will find a way to bring the ingredients home, and the restaurant will go bankrupt in a short time."
"Are you sure there has never been a precedent for taking away ingredients in restaurants?"
"Absolutely not."
"Nor the chef."
Hao Shaobo said firmly, "No."
"Are you familiar with Wei Changsheng?"
"It's okay, he took me when I first came to the restaurant."
"Has he ever taken out ingredients from a restaurant before?"
"No, it's impossible for Brother Wei to do such a thing."
"How is the relationship between Wei Changsheng and your store manager?"
"fine."
"How good? Do they have a private relationship?"
"That's the relationship between colleagues. Sister Liu is married. They should have no relationship in private. Of course, I don't know the details, but as far as I know, there is no relationship."
"I see, you can leave." Han Bin told the team members beside him, "Next."
After a while, another chef came in.
The chef is also young, not tall, and looks a little shy.
Han Bin asked the same question again.
The result was the same as that of Hao Shaobo, the restaurant never allowed employees to take away the ingredients from the store.
Then, Han Bin asked the employees in other stores one after another, and the answers were basically the same as Hao Shaobo's.
Only Liu Ping and Wei Changsheng had different confessions.
Wang Xiao said from the side, "Team Han, it seems that the problem lies with these two people, but why did they hide the lamb shoulder chops, and there are a lot of ingredients in the back kitchen, but they only hide this one."
Li Qin said, "Could it be that they poisoned Chen Zihe to death?"
Han Bin thought for a while, and felt that this possibility was unlikely. First, Chen Zihe died of severe poison. Even if the two wanted to poison Chen Zihe, there was no need to smear poison on so many ingredients. Second, Chen Zihe's wife also ate barbecue, but the other party was not poisoned.
Of course, judging from the current situation, there must be something wrong with those lamb shoulder chops. Otherwise, the two of them would not have deliberately hidden them at the risk of risk. As for the specific problem, we will not know until after investigation.
Li Qin said, "Captain Han, do you want to call Liu Ping in and ask again?"
"No, tell Wei Changsheng to come in."
Returning to the back kitchen again, Wei Changsheng looked around as if looking for something.
Han Bin cut to the chase, "How is your body?"
"much better."
"Can the interrogation continue?"
"Can."
"Then you continue to explain."
"Comrade policeman, I really have nothing to say. What exactly do you want me to say?"
"Hehe, okay, you're still quite stubborn. You still want to be a hero, so keep going."
Wei Changsheng just shook his head without answering.
Han Bin looked at each other, "Liu Ping has already recruited, is it interesting for you to carry on?"
"Recruited?"
"What did she recruit?"
"She explained clearly what you two committed."
Wei Changsheng's face became very ugly, and he hesitated for a long time, "Comrade police, I have nothing to do with her. What I said just now is true. The ingredients were taken away for my father to eat."
"Okay. It seems that Liu Ping is right. You are the mastermind. Your mouth is much tougher than hers. But with Liu Ping's identification and relevant evidence, no matter how hard your mouth is, it's useless."
"What mastermind? How could I be the mastermind."
"Liu Ping has already been recruited. According to her confession, you are the mastermind and she is just an accessory. Her crime will not be too serious, but you will be miserable."
Wei Changsheng covered his mouth with his right hand, shook his head and said, "No, no, she lied, I'm not the mastermind, I'm not."
Wang Xiao scolded, "Who are you?"
"Liu Ping is the mastermind."
Han Bin took advantage of the situation and asked, "Why is Liu Ping the mastermind?"
"She told me to hide these lamb shoulder chops. She is not the mastermind. Who is the mastermind?"
"Why did she let you hide these lamb shoulder chops?"
Wei Changsheng looked away, "I don't know either."
"It's not that you don't know, it's that you don't want to say it." Han Bin stood up and patted his clothes, "It doesn't matter, anyway, we already have Liu Ping's statement, so we will convict based on her statement. She is an accessory and you are the mastermind. "
"I'm really not the mastermind."
Han Bin shrugged his shoulders, "There must be a mastermind in a case, and if you refuse to say it, I can only trust Liu Ping."
"Don't believe her. She told me to do this, and she bit me back in the end. You can't believe what this woman says."
"Then tell me, why did you hide those lamb shoulder chops? Did you poison Chen Zihe with the lamb shoulder chops?"
"No, really not, these lamb shoulder chops are not poisonous at all?"
"Then why are you hiding?"
"The quality of these... lamb shoulder chops is a bit questionable."
"what is the problem?"
"It's defective meat, not good meat."
Han Bin shook his head, still not believing what he said. The police used the lamb shoulder chops for testing to detect the ingredients that are harmful to the human body. As for the quality of the meat, whether it is fresh or not, the police will not care.
"It seems that you are still not as honest as Liu Ping, and I still believe her reasons more. You, the main criminal, are still too cunning."
Wei Changsheng became anxious and shouted, "I'm not the main culprit."
"Then why are you lying?"
"I'm not lying, those lamb chops are really a quality issue."
"Be more specific."
"Those mutton chops contain S meat essence. If the police take them away, they will definitely detect them. Not only our store, but the whole company will suffer. So Liu Ping ordered me to hide the meat. It was Liu Ping's order. She is the person in charge of this store, and it has nothing to do with me. I am just a small chef. This restaurant, no, even if this company collapses, it has nothing to do with me. At worst, I will change to another restaurant to work. It’s only ten thousand yuan a month, so why should I do it.”
"Damn it, this kind of meat is banned by the country, you dare to use it." Han Bin swears, because he almost ordered lamb shoulder chops just now, but Wang Ting thinks this position is fatter, so he didn't order it.
"I'm just a part-time worker, and I'm always ordered by the leader, and I don't know. I will do whatever they tell me to do."
"Slap!" Han Bin gave him a slap in the face, "This slap is for the customers in the store."
"Cuff him and take him to the police station for a slow interrogation."
"Comrade policeman, what I said is true. Liu Ping really ordered me to do this. She is the mastermind and she instructed me." Wei Changsheng's voice was so loud that people outside could hear it.
Zhang Shungu quickly blocked his mouth, "Shut up, don't shout anymore."
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Wei Changsheng was taken away in handcuffs, and the employees and customers in the store showed expressions of surprise.
Some people couldn't sit still anymore, stood up and asked the surrounding policemen, "Comrade policeman, what's wrong with him, why are you arresting him?"
"Did he poison Chen Zihe to death?"
The reply they get is often the same sentence, "Don't ask, what should be told to you, I will tell you naturally."
"Liu Ping, come in."
Liu Ping trembled when she was called, and she also heard Wei Changsheng's shout.
After entering the back kitchen, Han Bin raised his chin, "Manager Liu, if you want to put handcuffs on you as well."
"No, no, I don't need it, I am willing to cooperate with the police investigation."
"Then tell me, why did you poison Chen Zihe to death?"
"I didn't poison Chen Zihe to death."
"Didn't Wei Changsheng say that?"
"What did he say?"
"Okay, I still want to get the words out of the police, and I want to continue to carry on, so don't talk about it here, let's put on handcuffs and go back to the bureau to talk, there is plenty of time."
"Comrade policeman, let me tell you everything. I admit that I let Wei Changsheng hide the mutton chops secretly, but I never let anyone poison Chen Zihe. I am the manager of this store. He has an accident. I will also be implicated, how could I do such a stupid thing."
"Then why Tibetan lamb chops?"
"Because... those lamb chops have quality problems." Liu Ping still hesitated.
"If you're in trouble, don't say it. We can just accept Wei Changsheng's confession."
"No, I want to say, I have said it all, those lamb chops contain S meat essence, if they are taken away by the police, they will definitely be found out, then our company's reputation will be ruined, and I will not be able to be the store manager anymore. I asked Wei Changsheng to hide the lamb chops for the benefit of the company."
"real?"
"It's absolutely true."
"Since you know that mutton containing S meat essence is not edible, and the country has banned it, why are you still selling it in the store?"
"In the past, this aspect was not strictly checked. Many farmers used this kind of meat, and many restaurants also used this kind of meat. It is not just our company. It was not reported until 315 this year, and many restaurants dare not use it."
"Then why do you still use it?"
"Our company doesn't dare to buy any more. This batch is the inventory we bought before, and we have already bought it, and we can't return it. If we throw it away, the company will lose a lot. I think it will be sold out, and it will not be returned in the future. Just go in, who knows what happened."
"Listening to your tone, I still feel quite wronged."
"No, no, I don't feel wronged. I know what I did was wrong, but it's also the company's decision. I just followed the company's instructions."
"The police hid the problematic mutton during the investigation, which affected the police's handling of the case. It was also your company's instruction? Who instructed you, tell me?"
"This... no, it's my own decision. My starting point is not to hinder the police's investigation, but to save the company's face. Although these lamb chops contain S meat essence, which is harmful to the human body, it will not immediately To death, at least half of the diners here ordered lamb chops, and they ate them all, so it's okay.
I can guarantee that there is nothing wrong with eating these lamb chops, and it has nothing to do with Chen Zihe's death. "
Han Bin snorted coldly, "I also guarantee that you and your company have serious problems."
