"Hehe, it's true that you are studying law, and the questions raised are very sharp?"

Zhou Yi smiled and said: "In other words, you admit that the test alone cannot prove that I stole the old brine of the Zhou family? Mayor Qiu and Team Hu, in this case, we can put the test results aside and only talk about the taste of the brine! Although the villagers are all veterans of making braised pork, they are not professional gourmets and judges after all, and it is too child's play to convict my father and son just based on the results of their tastings, right?"

"This ̈..."

Deputy Mayor Qiu was stunned, but he didn't expect Zhou Yi to go around in a big circle, first denying the test results, and then pointing out that the taster's professional qualifications were not enough, which made him unable to refute.

"Hehe, that's reasonable! Vice Mayor Qiu, I also think it's a bit hasty to convict people based on the results of just a few fellow villagers' tastings ̈...."

With the laughter, Hu Wannian, director of the Dayuan City Public ~ Security Bureau, walked into the courtyard, followed by a middle-aged man, about forty-five or sixteen years old, white and pure, with no official temperament, but with the elegance of a scholar. He nodded at Deputy Mayor Qiu and said with a smile: "Mayor Qiu is good." ”

"Oh, it's Professor Ling, why are you here?"

Vice Mayor Qiu is an amateur food lover, and his usual hobby is in this mouth, so he often interacts with people in the food circle, so he naturally recognizes this as Professor Ling Chong of Dayuan Medical University. Ling Chong is a medical student, but his hobby is food, and there is a story in this.

It is said that when he was teaching surgery and often gave anatomy classes to his students, over time he fell into an occupational disease, could no longer eat meat, and became a vegetarian; Later, he met a mysterious celebrity chef who cooked a dish of braised pork for him, which cured his picky food, and since then, he has become a staunch 'food researcher', published many books on food culture, and is already a famous professional foodie in Ohara City.

"Zhou's braised pork is also my favorite food, I heard Director Hu say that there was a case of brine theft here, so I naturally want to come and see it. ”

Ling Chong smiled and nodded to the Zhou family, and glanced at Zhou Yi again: "This little comrade is right, the judgment of food is often a very subjective thing, if it is just an ordinary person tasting it, it will inevitably be biased." However, this deviation must also be based on considerable strength, if this little comrade is not a thief who steals brine, then the craftsmanship is very skillful, I would like to taste it ̈ ̈ ̈"

When Zhou Yi celebrated his birthday, because of Cao Yidao and He Luozi, two powerful people in the cooking industry, many people in the food circle of the six northern provinces were present, including several food experts in Shanyin. But Ling Chong was a 'halfway monk' and didn't get invited, so he didn't know Zhou Yi, he was just curious at the moment, wanting to see if Zhou Yi was quibbling, or if he really had the skills, and he could do the brine to the extent of the Zhou family's ancestral old halogen.

"Director Hu, is it Professor Ling that you invited?"

Vice Mayor Qiu frowned and glanced at Hu Wannian with some displeasure. He and Ling Chong were half friends, and he didn't have any opinions on Ling Chong, but Hu Wannian didn't even say hello beforehand, and suddenly brought a food expert over, which made him feel very uncomfortable.

"Yes, Mayor Qiu, this case is related to our Shanyin's 'local famous brand', how dare I be lazy? But Professor Ling is a busy man, and I don't know if I can get it, so I didn't greet you in advance, and I rushed over directly after inviting Professor Ling, it's really a bit abrupt, you shouldn't blame me, right?"

Hu Wannian first looked at Zhou Yi and nodded slightly, and then explained to Vice Mayor Qiu with a smile. This is the old officialdom, not as young and frivolous as his nephew Hu Niu, a set of Tai Chi boxing, Vice Mayor Qiu was unhappy in his heart, and he couldn't say anything, so he could only nod and say: "Director Hu did a good job, how can I blame you?" Professor Ling, you came just in time, I was looking for a professional food judge to identify these two brines, and your arrival was a charcoal in the snow." ”

"Hehe, then you're welcome, I'm anxious to see it. ”

Ling Chong looked at Zhou Yi, the young man was angry, which gave him a good first impression: "You are the suspect?"

"Professor Ling, my name is Zhou Yi. ”

"Okay, well, I know the basics.

If you really didn't steal it, but you can make a brine comparable to the old brine of the Zhou family, then you are a genius, let me try it..."

As he spoke, Ling Chong asked Zhou Dazhu for a cup of warm water, first dipped some old Zhou family brine with chopsticks and put it in his mouth, shook his head and tasted it for a while, and said again and again: "Good marinade, good marinade... ̈" Then he rinsed his mouth with warm water and tasted the brine made by Zhou Yi again.

"Well....well, it's really good!"

He praised the brine of the two co-authors, but did not give a result.

Vice Mayor Qiu looked at him and said, "Professor Ling, what's the result?"

"Mayor Qiu, you're also half a professional gourmet, why don't you try it too?" Ling Chong hesitated.

"Well, I was just trying to try it, too. ”

Deputy Mayor Qiu was actually tempted a long time ago, but the dignified mayor went to taste the brine in front of many villagers, which was really a bit out of character, and now with Ling Chong's proposal, he just happened to get off the donkey.

After tasting the brine of the two parties, Deputy Mayor Qiu didn't speak for a long time, just looked at Ling Chong.

"It's hard to tell, is it?"

Ling Chong smiled slightly: "I'm not afraid of everyone laughing, it's hard for me to make a decision." These two kinds of brine seem to be exactly the same when they first enter the mouth, but if you taste them carefully, it seems that the brine made by the suspect Zhou Yi has a longer and better taste....but when you taste it again, it seems that the old brine of the Zhou family is better, and it seems unlikely that the brine made by this young man can be better than the old brine handed down by the ancestors of the Zhou family. In short, my level is limited, and I really make the right judgment, but I am ashamed of the trust of Director Hu and Deputy Mayor Qiu, ashamed, ashamed. ”

Depend on!

The villagers wanted to roll their eyes when they heard this, and said that you have said so much, it turns out that you are also a fool? Vice Mayor Qiu has a solemn expression, although he is only half a gourmet, he also has the same feeling, just like Professor Ling said, it is difficult to make a decision for a while, it is too tangled.

Now there is no way to determine that Zhou Yi's brine is stolen, so it is time to arrest Zhou Yi's father and son first, and then slowly collect evidence; Or did he withdraw the task force in disgrace? Vice Mayor Qiu hesitated a little. After many years of ups and downs in the sea, he developed the instinct to be good at spotting dangers and avoiding risks, and he intuitively felt that something was wrong today! First Hu Niu was in opposition to him, then Hu Wannian came with Ling Chong in person, and this young man named Zhou Yi couldn't help but be too calm in the face of a deputy mayor in his own hall....

Looking at Hu Wannian's uncle and nephew again, Vice Mayor Qiu finally made a decision: "Professor Ling's feeling is the same as mine, neither of us can come to an accurate conclusion, and we can't prove that the suspect's brine is 'stolen'." We are members of the X industry party and a state cadre~, and we will not let go of a bad person, nor will we wronged a good person, so I announce that the joint case handling will be temporarily suspended, and we will wait for the public ~ security organs to further collect evidence before entering the judicial process...."

"Old Fox... ̈"

Hu Wannian scolded secretly, Deputy Mayor Qiu's vigilance made him quite disappointed, this product did not completely go to the opposite side of Zhou Yi because of this case, which made him feel a little fly in the ointment.

But since the superior leader had spoken, he couldn't say anything, so he had to second: "What Mayor Qiu said is very reasonable, I have no opinion." ”

"Mayor Qiu, the basic evidence already exists, I think Zhou Yi and his son should be detained first and then further evidence, this is the correct procedure... ̈"

After all, Zhou Shengli is young and vigorous, he doesn't know how powerful, and he still thinks about what if.

"Victory, don't say more. Zhou Tianqing is old and refined, and he also felt that the taste was wrong at this time, so he hurriedly scolded his grandson.

"Hehe, Mayor Qiu, I also think that this matter should not be understood so easily. ”

Zhou Yi smiled slightly and said: "The joint handling of the case by the public ~ procuratorate and law of Dayuan City has made such a big noise, and my father's reputation and I have been ruined." So we have to explain that San'in Province is so big, there are always masters who can distinguish between these two kinds of brine, right? If it really doesn't work, then look for food experts from Kyoto and from all over the country to taste the brine, and if you need funds, I can pay for it!"

"What? Are you willing to pay to hire an expert to taste the brine?" Vice Mayor Qiu has been in the officialdom for so many years, and he has been in charge of political and legal work for a while, and it is really the first time he has seen such an unrelenting 'suspect'. Zhou Yi's proposal made him stunned, and he didn't know how to answer for a while.

"Mayor Qiu, Comrade Xiao Zhou's mood is understandable, or....let's hire a few food experts?"

Hu Wannian's heart blossomed happily, and his heart said old hatred, old hatred, you know how powerful you are now. Do you want to get out halfway? This Mr. Xiao Zhou is not easy to mess with, and people don't do it.

"Mayor Qiu and Director Hu, you don't have to go to Kyoto to hire food experts. As far as I know, there is a clever gourmand in Ohara, although he is not famous, he is really level, and he loves braised pork. If he is allowed to taste the brine, he will definitely be able to make an accurate judgment. ”

Ling Chong didn't want to do much, but as a professional foodie, this brine case really made him extremely curious.

"Oh?"

Vice Mayor Qiu suddenly breathed a sigh of relief. It's better to find a professional foodie in the city than to go to Kyoto or even the whole country. After all, he is still in his own one-third of an acre, if it turns out that Zhou Yi's father and son have been wronged, he can control the situation and not have too bad an impact: "Professor Ling, I don't know what the name of this professional gourmand you are talking about, do I know him?"

"Hehe, you don't know him.

Because he is a monk, a monk..."

Monk, do you still love braised pork? This Professor Ling didn't drink high, right...... (To be continued)
