Views:

Atulu brought the two thieves to the police station for routine interrogation. Lao Wang left them for the supermarket to take routine notes. He asked about what happened and the stolen items, and then asked the parties and witnesses to sign. He then detained them at the police station. The official seal is all.

Successfully catching the thief, Anderson was very happy. He moved out a box of drinks and waved: "Today we have a little activity at the supermarket, with lemonade on a rainy day. Guys, as long as you shop in our store, I will treat you to a bottle." Lemonade!”

After saying that, he looked at Lao Wang and added: "Boss, this money will be deducted from my salary, and it will be treated as a drink for everyone."

Lao Wang was also in a good mood. He shook his head and said, "Let's just treat it as a supermarket event and keep it to the public account. From now on, you can do it according to your needs and make your own decision."

After the investigation was over, he put on his police hat and prepared to leave. Anderson also moved a box of lemonade for him and said with a smile: "Boss, you haven't tried this drink yet, right? Let's have two bottles today. It tastes very good." Great."

"If you haven't tried it, I suggest you try it." A man who was drinking lemonade leaned on the counter and smiled. "If you ask me what drink best represents the United States, I will answer 'Coca-Cola' without thinking. If If you ask me again what drink best represents New Zealand, my answer is L&!"

L& is the lemonade they are drinking. Its full name is Paeroa Lemonade. It is considered the most representative soft drink in New Zealand with a unique flavor and a long history.

Since everyone admired it so much, Lao Wang snapped his fingers and moved the box of drinks away. It happened that he had nothing to drink at work.

Atulu was still interrogating the two thieves. When Lao Wang came in, he said distressedly: "Boss, they don't admit that they stole the piece of beef, saying that it was framed by us."

Lao Wang sneered: "They don't need to admit this. When there are witnesses and physical evidence in court, the judge will naturally make a judgment."

When he took something out of the bag, he deliberately took it from the camera at the counter. All of this was recorded, so there is no use in denying it.

After listening to his words, the faces of the two thieves who were handcuffed on the iron chairs suddenly showed a look of dejection. They had been screwed so thoroughly this time, and they would definitely go to jail.

The subsequent interrogation went smoothly, and the two of them cooperated very well. They both thought that the other had stolen the piece of beef and that they had been tricked into prison, so they turned against each other and revealed all the bad things the other had done.

When Lao Wang saw the situation, he quickly separated them for interrogation. Atulu and Uncle Bing interrogated each one.

In fact, with the current situation of the two of them, there is no need to ask anything at all. They just need to take notes. They will take the initiative to say what should be said and what should not be said.

Because they talked too much and too fast, Atulu and Uncle Bing's notes were very sloppy. Only then did Lao Wang realize that he still lacked many types of jobs, such as record-keepers.

The town's recordkeeper is not as simple as the name sounds. He is not only responsible for registration work, but also cooperates with the police station's interrogation team to take notes, records and organizes the development history of various units in the town, etc. It often requires a specific person to be responsible.

Atulu and Uncle Bing are not suitable for taking notes. The former has a low educational level and the latter is a new immigrant from the UK. Although English is also spoken in New Zealand, many grammar and words are different. He has no problem communicating. When doing writing work There are more problems.

Fortunately, there was a recording during the interrogation. Lao Wang called the Mexican handsome boy over to revise the transcript and finally sorted it out.

After falling out, the two revealed a lot of dirt on each other. Lao Wang arranged for a reexamination based on the transcripts to interrogate other crimes they had committed before.

Originally, the two of them only committed the crime of theft, which was not a big problem. However, after the reexamination, the result was different. The two also had problems such as organizing prostitution, participating in drug trafficking, and burglary. Together, they would have to stay in jail for at least twenty years. Year.

In New Zealand, the crime of theft may be the crime with the lightest punishment. It is strange that many people in New Zealand even sympathize with thieves. Lao Wang was confused when he learned this.

In fact, there are historical reasons for this. In 1840, the British government turned New Zealand into a British colony by signing the "Treaty of Waitangi" with the Maori people. The signing day was New Zealand's National Day.

Unlike the National Day in other countries, New Zealand's National Day is not a day of celebration, but a day of protest for Maori people. The annual National Day is not a celebration parade, but a protest parade. Because there are two versions of the Treaty of Waitangi, the English version and the Maori version differ in key places.

According to Maori, the British "stole" their land through deceptive means and continue to "steal" it to this day. For example, the highly disputed seabed and coast ownership was ruled out by a British High Court decision in 2004. The paper verdict was awarded to the British Crown.

The Maori were very dissatisfied with this. They believed that since the British stole their land and resources, they also stole from the British. In New Zealand, all white people are considered to be of British descent, and it is understandable and encouraged for Maori to steal things from white people as a means of revenge.

After the interrogation, Lao Wang locked up the two men, and then he called Sheriff Smith.

Some of the information he obtained through interrogation was related to Aocheng. The two revealed several underground casinos and illegal prostitution venues in Aocheng, as well as a community drug trafficking line. This was very important to the Aocheng Police Department. important.

After receiving the information he conveyed, Chief Smith immediately organized the police to go out and knock down four underground casinos and two illegal prostitution venues in the suburbs that day. As for the drug trafficking line in the community, this requires a long line to catch the big ones. fish.

First, the cat abuse case was solved, and then two thieves were arrested. The police station's status in the town suddenly rose. When Lao Wang went out, people kept giving them thumbs up and praising them for their good work.

In comparison, New Zealand people have lower requirements for the police. As long as you can solve crimes and catch thieves, then you are doing a good job.

It was still raining hazy in the afternoon, so Lao Wang had nothing to do, so he just watched movies and drank drinks. The lemonade he brought back from the supermarket tasted very good.

This drink tastes like Sprite with lemon juice, but it's sweeter, and it tastes pretty good.

Atulu came in to ask him to sign the inspection log. When he saw lemonade on the table, his eyes lit up and he ran out. After a while, he came back with a knife and lemon in his hand.

He poured the soda into the cup, cut a slice of lemon into it, sprinkled some sugar on it, and then said with a smile: "This is the only way to drink it."

Hani came in to ask Lao Wang what was going on. When he saw the two drinking soda, he sat down unceremoniously. He took a bottle, stuffed a little lemon into it, sprinkled some sugar, and drank together.
