Chapter Seventy-One: The Thief's Clue

Weekends are a time for students to take a break, but the service industry like HTC is particularly busy. Especially when it comes to lunch time, the hotel's Chinese restaurant, Western restaurant, and cafeteria are all guests. Naturally, the chefs in the back kitchen are also extremely busy, with a variety of dishes being prepared and served, the most popular of which is the signature large fruit plate.

Tian Wei is in a particularly good mood today, he usually doesn't come to the hotel to work on weekends, and he has already found a place to play. But today he came to the hotel to see the results of his brother-in-law's treatment of Zhong Huan and Xu Hao.

After observing in the back kitchen for a while, Tian Wei found that the supply of fruit was as usual, which made him feel a little strange. When he came to the purchasing department, he saw his brother-in-law Deng Guilong settling accounts in the office.

"Second brother-in-law, I'm busy." Tian Wei said hello and entered the office.

"It's Xiaowei, sit down. Why did you have time to run to the hotel today? Deng Guilong was a little puzzled when he saw Tian Wei, usually Tian Wei would not run to the hotel on weekends.

"I'm not worried that our hotel's suppliers are not keeping their promises. That's why I came over to take a look. Tian Wei said.

"When did you start worrying about the hotel? Rest assured, our suppliers are pointing to the hotel to make money, and it is impossible not to keep promises. Deng Guilong put down the work in his hand and felt that Tian Wei was a little strange today.

"Other suppliers are referring to our hotel, but Zhong Huan's kid is not necessarily so honest. I heard that his goods were broken yesterday, and the eldest brother-in-law didn't talk to him properly? Tian Wei asked sideways.

"Where did you hear that?" Deng Guilong was stunned when he heard this, yesterday's goods were collected by him personally, although Xu Hao came back a little late, but I heard that it was a traffic jam on the road, and Deng Guilong didn't care.

Tian Wei saw that Deng Guilong was stunned, and thought that he already knew about the theft of the fruit, so he couldn't help but be proud, and said, "Don't care where I heard about it." Did Xu Hao come back and say that the fruit was stolen? I think he is talking nonsense at all, Zhong Huan must have partnered with him to sell the fruit to others. Second brother-in-law, do you know that there are people who are willing to pay a high price for our fruits now. ”

"Hehe~ Where are you talking about? There are also noses and eyes. Who told you the fruit was stolen? Yesterday, Xu Hao pulled the fruit back, and he didn't lose a pound. Deng Guilong looked at Tian Wei with a scrutinizing eye, feeling that something was indeed wrong with him.

"Huh? Didn't lose the fruit? It can't be! After Tian Wei finished speaking, he found that his tone was wrong, and quickly said: "Could it be that these stinky boys tricked me into playing?" Damn it! I'll settle accounts with them. Brother-in-law, you should be busy first. Tian Wei didn't dare to stay longer in the face of Deng Guilong's suspicious gaze, and ran out with a smoke.

"Ha~ What the hell is this kid doing? It's inexplicable. Deng Guilong shook his head and focused on work again.

"It doesn't make sense! It shouldn't be! Obviously we sold it! ”

As soon as Tian Wei came out of Deng Guilong's office, he began to talk to himself. Yesterday, he personally participated in the theft, and finally sold more than 2,000 catties of super fruits to a foreign fruit merchant for 80,000 yuan, and the money went into his and Ding Hu's pockets, how could he not lose it.

"Foreman Tian, be careful!"

Xu Hao was about to go to Deng Guilong's office to report work, but he saw Tian Wei crashing into him unwillingly. He also thought that Tian Wei was going to make trouble for himself again, so he reminded him first, so as not to let Tian Wei touch the porcelain.

"Xu Hao! You're just in time. Let me ask you, did you encounter anything when you went to pull the goods yesterday? ”

Tian Wei, who was looking down and pondering, heard someone calling him, and when he looked up, he saw Xu Hao. This time, he didn't dare to mention the theft of the fruit, so he asked vaguely.

Xu Hao's vigilance was already very high, and after the fruit was stolen yesterday, the strings in his heart tightened. At this time, listening to Tian Wei's question for no reason, he chuckled in his heart, but said quietly on the surface: "I haven't encountered anything!" By the way, there is a bit of a traffic jam on the road, and the captain of the convoy is long, so I am anxious enough. ”

"Who asked you about the traffic jam. I'm asking you if you found something wrong with Zhong Huan when you went to pull Zhong Huan's batch of fruits? ”

Tian Wei, who was wondering in his heart, didn't see that Xu Hao was pretending to be stupid at all, and directly led the topic to Zhong Huan's batch of fruits.

Xu Hao didn't find that Zhong Huan was wrong, but he could find that Tian Wei was wrong. However, Xu Hao remained silent, pretended to think for a while and said, "Foreman Tian, I remembered that you mentioned this, Mr. Zhong was indeed a little wrong yesterday. Usually when I go to pull fruit, I always take the key to open the door, but yesterday Mr. Zhong was waiting for me at the door, and there was a worker installing the security door. He also gave me the key to the security door when I was leaving. ”

"And what time did you come over? Is there less fruit in the house? Tian Wei asked.

"It's about four or five o'clock. The amount of fruit is the same as usual. What's wrong? Tian Foreman. Any questions? Xu Hao stared at Tian Wei's eyes and asked.

"I didn't ...... No problem, you go. ”

After hearing Xu Hao's words, Tian Wei was even more puzzled. The time when he went to steal the fruit was two or three o'clock in the afternoon, and the time when Xu Hao picked up the fruit was four or five o'clock. In other words, Zhong Huan found out that the fruit was stolen within an hour or two, and he also transported another batch of fruits to replenish the warehouse, which was too efficient. Another suspicious thing is that Zhong Huan didn't tell Xu Hao about the theft of the fruit, but chose to hide it, does he really have any ulterior secrets?

Xu Hao waited for Tian Wei to frown and walk away, and immediately took out his mobile phone and called Zhong Huan. He suspected that Tian Wei was the one who stole the fruit.

At this time, Zhong Huan had already returned home, and when he saw that it was Xu Hao's call, he thought that the fruit had been stolen again, so he hurriedly picked up the phone.

"Mr. Zhong, I may have found the person who stole the fruit." Xu Hao's voice on the phone was a little excited.

"Huh? How did you find it? Zhong Huan originally thought that Zhou Xin would be the first to find the clue, but he didn't expect it to be Xu Hao.

"I suspect that Tian Wei did it, and today he came to ask me about the fruit......" Xu Hao said Tian Wei's abnormal performance on the phone.

After Zhong Huan heard Xu Hao finish speaking, he felt that his judgment was correct. But for Tian Wei, he has a little headache. If it was someone else who stole the fruit, Zhong Huan called the police to arrest someone, or beat up the thief to get angry, it was not a problem. But Tian Wei is Zhou Hongda's brother-in-law after all, which is a bit difficult to do.

"You'd better keep quiet about this. Although we suspect that it is him, there is no way to deal with him without real evidence, so we can't arrest him and torture him to extract a confession. I think it's still going according to the original plan. If he only commits this time, I won't care about him in the face of Mr. Zhou. If he dares to steal and is caught by us, he will definitely not be spared. Zhong Huan thought about it, it's better not to startle the snake first.

"I see! Just do as Mr. Zhong says. ”

Xu Hao also knew that this matter was tricky. There is a way that is inseparable, and if he and Zhong Huan want to deal with Tian Wei, they have to consider Zhou Hongda's relationship, and it will definitely not work without solid evidence.

Zhong Huan hung up the phone, and saw that his father Zhong Jianguo and mother Zhang Shulan were still staring at him, putting on a posture of interrogation, and he couldn't help but feel a little numb in his scalp.

"Dad, Mom, I have already said that this 100,000 yuan is really what we earned from doing business. Take it with confidence. ”

Zhong Huan hasn't spent much money since the beginning of military training, and with the addition of his previous savings in the first two weeks of school, Zhong Huan already has millions in his hands. He felt that he had to honor his parents with so much money, but he was afraid that he would make them suspicious if he gave too much, so he made a passbook of 100,000 yuan and handed it to his family. Unexpectedly, my parents were still swayed by the money.

"the kid, I think Xiao Huan is telling the truth. You can also see the way he called just now, he didn't panic when he was in trouble, he commanded Ruoding, and he was really a bit of a boss. ”

Zhong Jianguo still believed in his son, but suddenly seeing so much money made him feel a bit like a dream.

"I didn't say that Xiao Huan lied! Xiao Huan, what did you lose? Does it matter? ”

Zhang Shulan's mind was no longer entangled in the money Zhong Huan got back, but began to worry about the thief he said on the phone.

"It doesn't matter, it's just a cartload of fruit. It's not worth a few bucks. You have collected this money, and you can buy whatever you lack at home. ”

Zhong Huan didn't dare to say that the lost fruit was worth tens of thousands, for fear that his parents would worry about him.

"Cheng, this money will be saved for you first. Keep it for you to marry your daughter-in-law in the future. Zhang Shulan put away the passbook with a smile and said.

"Mom, don't keep it! Isn't that money earned for spending. I'll just earn more money for my daughter-in-law. Now that I'm earning money, you and my dad won't go to work, and enjoy the blessings at home. Zhong Huan knew that his parents worked very hard and didn't earn much money, so he wanted to persuade them to retire.

"You kid, you don't know anything about the southeast and northwest as soon as you make some money. We still have a few more years to work, and we don't need you to feed us. Zhang Shulan pointed at the door of Zhong Huan's head with her hand and said.

"Your mom is right! Your mother and I are both from working people, so we can't be idle at all. If you leave us at home all day, we might as well go to work. If you earn money, ask your mother to save it for you, don't spend it indiscriminately, you can use it in the future. Zhong Jianguo said.

"Yes, you two elders can save it if you want. But don't be reluctant to spend where you should spend. I'll go back to the house first. ”

Zhong Huan knew the temper of his parents, so he no longer persuaded them to retire, as long as they accepted the money. Back in the house, Zhong Huan entered the Ten Thousand Beast Gu. The previous arrangement in the animal breeding cave has now begun to bear fruit. The ten animal caves plus the kitchen hole opened up by Zhong Huan are already full of vegetables, and the lakes and rivers in the ten fish caves have also grown aquatic plants, and the next step is to stock fish, shrimp and livestock. Zhong Huan's initial plan was to herd herbivores first, so that he could eat meat first. As for raising fierce beasts and refining Gu beasts, it will have to wait for herbivores to grow and grow.
