Detective: Open your eyes, I am handcuffed in the interrogation room.

Chapter 622: Food Stall Episode

Not only He Shirong, but Chen Yi's phone also started ringing.

All the captains of the Shanhai Branch have talked to Chen Yi. This matter is big and small, but what is the main purpose?
The leaders were very upset and had to ask Chen Yi what he wanted to do.

At a certain level, Chen Yi's background was no longer a secret. Everyone knew that the Fang family was behind him, so no one dared to pursue him relentlessly and could only try to ask indirectly.

Chen Yi never hung up any phone calls. He answered every call. He did not mention Yunjie Group but only talked about his responsibilities, and showed enough desire to perform.

The message is: I finally became an inspector, I must let me have fun!

Some people believe it, after all, Chen Yi is too young.

Some people don't believe it. Having experienced life and death situations and solved countless serious cases, Chen Yi doesn't seem like a willful and reckless person. Is he so bored?
There is no way to believe it or not, as the other party has not given a clear direction for the investigation.

"If we do this, the call will definitely reach the Imperial City." Teng Dabin couldn't help it.

Chen Yi: "Let's fight. Who asked He Bu to follow me?"

Teng Dabin was speechless: "Are you just doing this for revenge?"

Chen Yi: "Of course not, I want to see how Shanhai Branch reacts to Yunjie Group, but I don't want them to know that I'm investigating Yunjie Group. If someone jumps out at this time, it is likely that they have a close relationship with Zhong Liyun.

Of course, judging from the meetings in the past few days, these team leaders should not have much interaction with Zhong Liyun, so we need to pay more attention to them.

How about eating at a food stall tonight?

The topic changed abruptly. Teng Dabin glanced at the time and said, "It's not even noon yet. You asked what to eat in the evening... Is a food stall good? Seafood or barbecue?"

Chen Yi: "You guys decide, after dinner we'll go to Shuigong Police Station."

After hearing about the Shuigong Police Station, the five people realized that they would not have any proper work during the day and should return to traveling, so they began to discuss.

Shuigong Police Station was the police station that managed the street where Xiang Shi, Xu Tai and others were located. If you want to understand Zhong Liyun, you must visit this police station.

As for why they went at night, no one asked.

"Let's eat seafood? Seafood is expensive. No matter if it's reimbursed or Chen Yi treats us, we can't go wrong by eating something expensive." Teng Dabin suggested.

The four were shocked by Teng Dabin's simple and crude basis for making his choice.

It's just expensive.

Su Ying rarely expressed her opinion: "Dongli seafood is divided into imported and local. Although Dongli is close to the sea, the local seafood is basically imported. They are either frozen for a long time or farmed, and the cost performance is not high."

Teng Dabin turned around and said, "You know so much? You have to be particular about eating at a food stall."

Su Ying's expression turned slightly cold.

Teng Dabin didn't want to provoke her, so he laughed and said, "Listen to Forensic Doctor Su, we have to be more particular about food stalls, otherwise we'll get diarrhea easily at night. Except for seafood, everything else is fine. Let's raise our hands and vote on our proposals. I suggest barbecue."

The vote count is out, four to one.

Teng Dabin was a little embarrassed because he was the one.

When the three new people followed Su Ying's footsteps completely and chose local cuisine.

As Dongli's specialty, one must eat the local cuisine when visiting Dongli, so Teng Dabing received a look of contempt from Su Ying.

"You seem to be very familiar with Dongli." Teng Dabing had already noticed this.

Su Ying responded with seven words: "I have relatives in Dongli."

Teng Dabin said "oh" and said no more.

During the rest of the day, the special case team members checked out various places worth visiting on Su Ying's recommendation. In the evening, they came to a restaurant specializing in local cuisine, which, judging by its decoration, had just opened not long ago.

It is not far from the Shuigong Police Station. The boss speaks with a Dongli accent. Since he is a local, I think the local cuisine should be more authentic.

The six people chose to sit outside, and Su Ying took the menu and ordered food.

The characteristics of Shanghai cuisine are rich in oil and red sauce, moderate saltiness, original flavor, mellow and fresh taste, and a lot of sugar is added, which makes Qin Fei and others from the north somewhat uncomfortable.

Fortunately, there are refreshing and spicy dishes, which are taken special care of by Qin Fei and others.

Su Ying didn't care. The most important thing about eating local food in other places is to taste it. It is normal to have different tastes. People from the south also have trouble adapting to the local climate when they go to the north.

The restaurant was very lively at night. Before I knew it, it was filled with people, surrounded by chatting and laughter, and had a strong urban atmosphere.

Chen Yi took a bite of the Eight Treasure Duck, then put down his chopsticks and looked away.

It was the corner next to the main entrance. The restaurant owner was chatting with two men. It was more like a negotiation from their expressions, and the owner looked very unhappy.

As time went on, the quarrels between the two sides became louder and louder.

"I won't join! Why should I join?!" The boss was furious and took out his cell phone to make a call, but it was unclear whether he was going to call the police or ask for help.

The guests all looked over and the chatting stopped.

Seeing the boss dial the number, the two men seemed a little scared and left cursing. Before leaving, they said that if they didn't join, they would come again. Their patience was limited, so the boss shouldn't be so shameless.

The two men walked away, and the boss was still on the phone, so he couldn't hear what he was saying.

The guests were confused but they didn't care and continued eating since nothing happened.

About five or six minutes later, three other men walked quickly into the restaurant. Chen Yi stretched his head to look, and saw the boss first complained, then went out and pointed in the direction where the two men had just left.

The three of them didn't waste any time and chased after him.

Seeing this, Chen Yi spoke up: "Qin Fei, go ask the boss. Brother Bin, you, Lao He, and Han Jun go after them and see what's going on. Try not to confront them face to face unless a fight breaks out."

With the nationwide crackdown on crime, there shouldn't be such blatant people, let alone in Dongli.

The four of them stood up immediately.

Watching her colleagues leave, Su Ying said, "Team Leader, do you understand?"

Chen Yi picked up the chopsticks again: "The boss mentioned joining. It's probably a new alliance similar to the Restaurant and Consumer Alliance. This kind of organization is the product of the crackdown on gangsters and evil. They don't dare to come openly, so they use the banner of legality, but in fact they still find various ways to collect the so-called protection fees." Restaurant and Consumer Alliance?

Su Ying is unfamiliar and has never been heard of.

Chen Yi knew that the other party was oblivious to what was happening outside, so he explained, "We just cracked down on this group two years ago. The full name of this group is the Tableware Disinfection Federation. This group of people forced tableware disinfection factories to join the alliance as members, and then collected membership fees or management fees, which seriously disrupted the market economic order and social security order. They have been arrested.

There have been similar cases in other cities, where the worst masterminds have been sentenced to suspended death sentences with restrictions on commutation of sentence.”

Su Ying was surprised: "What era is this? How can anyone dare to do this?"

Chen Yi smiled and said, "There are always daring people in every era."

Su Ying nodded slightly and asked, "The team leader just said that we were forced to join. How did you force us? It wouldn't be threats or beatings, right? The public security is so strict now, aren't you afraid of calling the police?"

Chen Yi: “Of course it’s not that direct. If there are people who don’t join, they will use indirect means to bring down the factory, such as verbally threatening workers to resign or falsely reporting factory violations. It’s difficult for the police station to handle this.

Don’t underestimate these tactics. It’s easy to lose money in normal business. If you mess up a little, you’ll be in trouble. If you go bankrupt, there will always be other factories that will spring up and there will always be people who make a living from this.”

Su Ying frowned: "Anything for money."

Chen Yi: "The whole society is willing to do anything for money. The difference is whether it is legal or illegal, bold or timid."

Su Ying admitted that this was the truth. People must have monetary support to live. From all kinds of desires to food and clothing, money is needed. This is the same in any country in any era.

Qin Fei returned first.

"Captain Chen, I asked him clearly. The boss said it was a catering alliance and forced him to join in order to collect membership fees."

"Restaurant Alliance?" Chen Yi commented on the poor name, "Just changed one word. Wildfires cannot be extinguished, spring breeze blows and they will spring up again. Some people who have been sentenced to one or two years have already been released, but they want to go back to jail."

Some people believe in living for the moment. Rather than working like a slave for the rest of their lives, they might as well take a different approach to make quick money, go to jail when they're done, and continue having fun after they get out.

They think that working people do not live a more exciting life than them. Working from nine to five is fine, but working from nine to nine to six is ​​really worse than being in prison, except for the freedom.

"What were those three people doing just now?" Chen Yi asked.

Qin Fei: "I am the landlord's man. The landlord said that if you rent his place, you have the obligation to protect the tenants from disturbance. You can call me anytime if you have any problem."

Chen Yi: “Free?”

Qin Fei: “It’s free.”

Soon, Teng Dabin and the other two came back and reported what they had seen and heard.

The three men just caught up with the person who was arguing with the boss, pressed him against the wall and gave him a verbal warning, saying things like "if it happens again their legs will be broken" and "send him directly to the police station".

"Landlord?" Teng Dabin was surprised to learn that it was the landlord. "Is there such a reliable landlord?"

It is rare to find a landlord who rents the house to you just to collect the money and can help you evict troublemakers.

He Shixin: "He arrived in five minutes. His methods were quite overbearing. If he had been ten or twenty years earlier, he would have taken action. It seems that the landlord has some power."

Chen Yi looked around and said, "This street is probably where Zhong Liyun used to hang out in his early years, right? Find out who the landlord is after getting in the car, and go to the police station after dinner."

He Xin nodded: "Okay."

After dinner, the six people drove for a few minutes to the Shuigong Police Station, got off the car and walked into the gate.

The police officer on duty noticed it and immediately walked out of the guard booth: "What's the matter?"

Chen Yi kept walking, turned around and pointed at him, saying, "You, come out and stand still, Han Jun, go and watch him."

Cheng Hanjun left the team and came to the police and showed his ID.

The policeman's body froze and he stood at attention subconsciously. He was a little confused and didn't know what was going on. He felt that this group of plainclothes officers were more intimidating than the inspector.

Chen Yi led the remaining four people into the hall.

Behind the computer, two policemen were playing with their mobile phones. When they heard footsteps and looked up, Chen Yi was already standing in front of them.

There is no clear regulation prohibiting playing with mobile phones while on duty. In principle, it is not allowed, but Chen Yi will not make a big deal out of it.

"Put your phone down first. Lao He, you stay here and watch. Everyone else, follow me."

Without waiting for any questions, Chen Yi left a message and led the remaining three people to other rooms.

The two policemen were also shocked and quickly stood up, not knowing which leader was coming to inspect.

Even if you have heard of Chen Yi's name after dinner, such a distant person may not be able to identify with him.

Seeing the two people's reservedness, He Xin smiled and said, "It's okay, don't be nervous, relax."

As he spoke, he took out his ID.

Chen Yi came to the gun room.

The gun room and the duty room are adjacent to each other to ensure safety. Whenever a criminal wants to enter the gun room, he will alert the people in the duty room, and the internal personnel coming in will also need to be checked.

There was a policeman lying in the duty room, also playing with his cell phone.

Seeing four strangers suddenly come in, the man sat up from the bed with a start: "What are you doing?!"

Qin Fei took out his ID. The man was stunned and quickly got out of bed and dressed.

Chen Yi put his hands behind his back and looked around, finally came to the policeman who was already standing at attention, and fastened the last button for him. The other party was a little at a loss and could only stand there stupidly.

"The gun room is very important. We need to be more vigilant in the future. At least keep our weapons within easy reach. What if we get attacked?" Chen Yi said.

Policeman: “Yes…Yes!”

Chen Yi: "Call your chief and ask him to come over. Don't be nervous. If you have something else to talk to him about, just say...Inspector Chen Yi wants to see him."

The word "Police Chief" scared the policeman and he quickly reached for his cell phone.
