Chapter 20 Sample Collection

"Can you show me the meat ingredients you have here?" Zhou Ming asked.

"Meat ingredients? Why do you want to see this?" the fat boss frowned and asked.

There is no relevant department to supervise food safety in Semir Town. The wilderness is a lawless zone, and the people wandering there only have two requirements for food.

First, you won’t have a bad stomach after eating!

Second, it can fill your stomach!

As long as these two points are achieved, no one has the right to care what they use to cook, so the fat man doesn't understand why this hermit cares about the ingredients?

After a few seconds, the fat boss suddenly remembered the hermit's purpose of coming to Semir Town, and immediately guessed Zhou Ming's purpose of coming here. He shook his head and sneered several times.

"Hmph! Do you think I sold all those missing people as meat? You really think highly of me, come on, come on!"

The fat boss turned around with difficulty in the narrow passage of the kitchen, walked out of the back door, turned the corner and walked into a dark room. Zhou Ming followed him and walked in immediately.

The moment he entered, the already very hot temperature rose for the second time, and he heard the hum of electrical appliances working.

The other party lit a candle, and the dim light illuminated the surroundings. There were many large freezers here. The buzzing sound just now was caused by these things. Frankly speaking, Zhou Ming was quite surprised that these large electrical appliances appeared here.

"There's even a freezer."

Zhou Ming took out the flashlight from his pocket, walked around a freezer, and found that it was powered by a device similar to a large power supply.

"Summer is coming, and meat will rot very quickly. It must be kept in a freezer. Everything you want to see is in it."

Zhou Ming glanced at the other party and asked coldly: "Are these devices expensive?"

"Ha! Isn't that of course! You don't know how many of these batteries are used up in a day. But it's none of my business if it's expensive. I'll sell it for a few cents more. No one from outside.

Those who don’t want to pay, after all, Semir Town is the only rest stop nearby.”

"In addition, the sales of cold beer are really hot recently. The price of the beer can double if it is chilled. It is not easy to make money! His grandma, it would be great if the transport truck could come twice a day, I even have a freezer

You can get rid of several of them and save a lot of money." The fat boss muttered and complained.

Zhou Ming opened the nearest freezer and looked inside. The dull ribs and pork thighs were covered with white frost, lying quietly inside. Judging from the quality, they seemed not very fresh.

But Zhou Ming is not a food quality inspector, so this is not his concern.

He walked to the other freezers and checked them one by one. The other freezers contained mutton and other meats. However, except for the bad color, the meat looked normal. None of them looked similar to parts of the human body.

When Zhou Ming was inspecting it, the fat boss was close to him. Every time he opened a freezer, he would come up to enjoy it, as if he wanted the escaping air-conditioning to make a final contribution to him.

He looked at Zhou Ming going from freezer to freezer, checking them slowly and leisurely, and couldn't help but say: "Brother, we are professionals after all. If it is really human flesh, how can we not tell it!"

"Is there no minced meat?" Zhou Ming suddenly asked.

The fat boss was stunned, then quickly walked to a freezer and knocked on it: "The buns used for breakfast are pulped pork neck meat."

Zhou Ming walked closer, opened the lid, and saw barrels of processed meat sauce. Now he really couldn't tell what was what. Even if there were a few cockroach corpse fragments inside, he couldn't tell.

If there really were some organs of the missing person inside, he wouldn't be able to tell either.

The fat boss looked at Zhou Ming staring at the meat sauce bucket in a daze, feeling a little distressed by the constant air-conditioning, and hesitantly explained:

"We don't have such processing tools here. These meat sauces are processed in the city and then delivered by transport trucks. If there is really one and a half people inside, they are also from the city. There is no way they are from the city.

Small town people!”

Zhou Ming was stunned for a moment, with a look of surprise on his face.

"You mean you can't make meat sauce like this?"

"It can be done, but manual work is not as good as a machine. Chopping by hand will be very tiring, and this thing is very cheap. It is more cost-effective to buy it directly!" said the fat boss.

“Will the locals buy this meat sauce?”

"That's not possible! What was sold to the locals was another barrel. We are all neighbors, and they know what I did. It's not worth it to get into a fight over such a nonsense! After all, the business of the neighbors is long-term.

How can our business be compared with killing foreign customers!" The fat boss waved his chubby palms with a somewhat proud expression on his face.

Zhou Ming lowered his head, his investigation once again hit a dead end.

If the restaurants here are like this fat man said, and the meat sauce is all purchased instead of made, then the possibility of the missing person becoming food will be much lower. After all, if it is not machine-processed, the bones will be difficult to process, and it will be very difficult.

Hard to hide.

"Dude, have you finished reading?"

The fat man was sweating profusely and became impatient due to the high temperature.

"Give me a spoon, I want to collect some samples." Zhou Ming said.

"oh."

The boss brought a spoon and handed it to Zhou Ming, while he stood beside him nervously, hesitating to speak several times.

Finally, he plucked up the courage to ask: "Do you think a person like me who can see those people will eventually go crazy?"

His voice was very soft. When Zhou Ming heard this, he turned to look at him. Under the dim candlelight, he saw an uneasy expression on the sweaty face of the fat boss. The calmness he had just now suddenly disappeared without a trace.

He stared at Zhou Ming anxiously, hoping to get the answer he wanted from him.

Fear and anxiety will spread like an infectious disease, and the passage of time will double the risk of the spread of the disease. This is the scary thing about weirdness, and it is also the inevitable weakness of the human heart.

Zhou Ming suddenly had a more realistic feeling about the strange danger. The other party's expression was similar in subtle ways to the woman he saw in the air-raid shelter.

"Don't worry, you are just affected by the weirdness to this extent. You will be fine. As long as the weirdness can be solved, you will return to normal." Zhou Ming comforted, but in fact, this was not the case. He just chose the most optimistic outcome among all possible results.

kind of.

Zhou Ming collected some meat sauce from various depths in the meat barrel and placed them in transparent plastic bags.

The fat man next to him was still worried, so he leaned into Zhou Ming's ear and asked softly: "How many cooks did you see outside just now?"

Zhou Ming instantly recalled the busy cook he saw in the back kitchen before, and suddenly understood everything.

"You hired the missing person?"

"No...no! I didn't know he was missing at the time! He came back after missing work for a few days. I thought there was nothing wrong with it, but that day I found that only a few people in the store could see him." The fat man wiped.

With cold sweat on his forehead, he said, "Everyone in the kitchen is in panic now... Do you think he will be entangled if I resign?"
