Zhu Xiaohua remembered the person who reported to him just now, and thought that this was mostly related to Captain Xiao's investigation.

Zhu Xiaohua said to everyone: "From today, everyone will have a holiday, and everyone is waiting for the results of the investigation in the dormitory with peace of mind." I'm sure Captain Xiao will be fine, and we'll be fine. Captain Xiao and I, we are innocent, and the above will investigate clearly. ”

In the afternoon of the same day, Zhu Xiaohua was invited to tea.

A government unit in Los Angeles, meeting room on the second floor.

Zhu Xiaohua sat on a chair across a light blue desk, behind which sat a pair of middle-aged men and women. The man was slightly older, about forty or fifty years old, and looked kind-hearted.

The woman is in her twenties and thirties, dressed in overalls, with short ear-length hair, and looks very capable.

The woman was the first to speak: "Do you know why you were invited?" ”

Zhu Xiaohua shook his head: "I don't know, we have a self-employed license, pay taxes normally, and operate legally, I can't figure out why it was seized." ”

The female staff member said, "If you think about it again, is it really completely innocent?" Who took the lead when the ID photo in Los Angeles began? ”

Zhu Xiaohua admitted calmly: "It was Captain Xiao who led more than a dozen people in the Food Bureau to take the lead in taking pictures. ”

Female staff: "More than 10 people, more than a dozen people?" ”

Zhu Xiaohua: "Fifteen people." ”

Female staff: "Did you collect Captain Xiao's money, how much did you charge?" ”

Zhu Xiaohua: "I accepted it, a total of 150 yuan." ”

The female staff stopped, glanced at the old man next to her, and the two sides nodded in tacit understanding.

The female staff continued: "After collecting the money, did you issue a ticket?" ”

Zhu Xiaohua was stunned: "Billing? Receipt or invoice? ”

Zhu Xiaohua remembers that there were no such invoices in this era.

Female staff: "Receipt, did you give Captain Xiao a receipt for the fifteen of them?" ”

Zhu Xiaohua shook his head: "There was no receipt, but there was a registration at that time." All fifteen of them were registered. ”

The female clerk leaned sideways and muttered to the old man next to her.

The old man raised his head and said, "Can the register still be found, if it can be found, let someone send it as soon as possible." ”

Zhu Xiaohua: "If you can find it, it's in the photo studio." But the photo studio has been seized. ”

The old man looked at the female staff again and said, "In this case, we will go and get it ourselves." Just give them some pointers. ”

The old man nodded to the female staff again, indicating that he had nothing more to ask.

The female staff member said: "As far as we know, you and Captain Xiao knew each other before, and when you were in Jiazigou Farm, you were under his management. You've also helped him generate income over and over again, and his promotion is also due to you. ”

Zhu Xiaohua: "Don't dare, it's Captain Xiao who has a good leadership." At that time, we were all under his command. ”

The female staff smiled: "This is not important. The important thing is that you knew Captain Xiao before and helped Captain Xiao, right? ”

Zhu Xiaohua felt that she couldn't refute what she said, and she couldn't deny it.

He immediately nodded and said, "Yes." It's not a help, it's just under his leadership. ”

The female clerk spread her hands and looked at the old man with relief, as if the answer was already clear at a glance.

The old man also nodded: "Captain Xiao's matter is a bit serious, he led fifteen people from the grain station to take pictures, without any approval and reporting, it belongs to his own decision." He took these people to take pictures, which belonged to public power and private use, and it had violated the regulations. ”

Zhu Xiaohua was stunned: "Then I'll go back for this one hundred and fifty yuan, okay?" ”

The old man and the female staff both smiled: "One hundred and fifty yuan, it's not too much, it's not too much." The most important thing is that it is not just a matter of money, but a matter of Captain Xiao's work style. ”

Zhu Xiaohua couldn't help but take a breath and thought, I see, it turns out that it is illegal for Captain Xiao to pull business for my photo studio.

Thankfully, I took his money at the time, and it would have been even more serious if I had waived the money for his personal photo shoots at that time.

Waiver of Captain Xiao's personal photo fees, wouldn't it become Captain Xiao to eat kickbacks, and Seagull Photo Studio to become a bribe-giver?

The female staff member laughed for a while, and then said, "And one last question, are there two people in your photo studio who are also from the farm?" ”

She was referring to Tang Yimin and Xiao Ding.

Zhu Xiaohua nodded: "This is indeed the case, is there any problem?" ”

Female staff: "Using someone with a criminal record to take a ID photo, aren't you afraid of tarnishing the reputation of the people of Los Angeles?" It's too ...... to think that the photos on so many people's ID cards are from people with criminal records."

Her explanation was a bit far-fetched, and she couldn't find a better reason for it for a while.

However, this matter is very involved, and they still feel that they still can't easily let go of the Seagull Photo Studio.

From the perspective of laws and relevant regulations, there is no problem in taking ID photos with people with criminal records. But emotionally speaking, that's problematic for all L.A. people.

The female staff member said: "If all the people in Los Angeles knew that tens of thousands of photos on their ID cards were from people with criminal records, what do you think they would think, would they ask you to return them?" ”

Zhu Xiaohua: "Sir, we believe that many of the paper, toothbrushes, masks, clothes, cartons, packaging bags, etc. used by all Chinese are also produced by prison inmates, so should we also ask them to return them?" ”

The female staff was stunned.

The old man was also stunned.

They suddenly felt that Zhu Xiaohua's reason could not be refuted.

The female staff member was poor in words, her face turned pale, and she hurriedly defended: "That's not the same ......"

Zhu Xiaohua: "What's the difference, the ID is in your pocket every day, and the toothbrush is still in your mouth every day?" ”

The two people on the opposite side were once again at a loss for words.

The female staff member said, "Well, let's not discuss this issue for now. It's always a fact that Captain Xiao knows you and takes someone to your photo studio to take pictures. You can't get rid of this question. We'll talk about the rest later. ”

The old man asked Zhu Xiaohua to go back and get the register.

He was led by two law enforcement officers and went straight to the Seagull Photo Studio, which attracted the attention of pedestrians along the way.

Zhu Xiaohua felt wronged.

Zhu Xiaohua said to the two law enforcement officers: "Can you explain to them, in fact, I didn't commit a crime, and I am not a prisoner who was held by you, I just acted as a guide for the two of you to come back and get something." ”

The two law enforcement officers had a straight face and a serious expression: "What so much nonsense, don't be verbose, hurry up and get the register, we have to go back to pay the business after we get it." ”

Zhu Xiaohua led the two of them to the storefront, pointed to the main door with seals and said, "Can't you take these two seals off and put them on again, right?" ”

The law enforcement officer's expression was serious: "The seal is not child's play, is it that you can stick it as you want, and tear it as you want?" ”

Zhu Xiaohua: "Then what should I do, I can't get in either?" ”
