"Haha, as expected of a law student, the question raised is very pointed, isn't it?"

Zhou Yi smiled and said: "In other words, you admit that testing alone cannot prove that I stole the Zhou family's old brine? Mayor Qiu, Captain Hu, in this case, we can put aside the test results first and just talk about the taste of this brine.

.I am also a descendant of the Zhou family. Although I am not a chef, I love to study food cooking techniques. Therefore, the brine I make is almost the same as the old brine passed down by my ancestors. This is understandable; although the folks all

They are veterans in making braised pork, but they are not professional gourmets after all. It is probably too childish for the judges to convict my father and son just based on the results of their tasting."

"this…"

Vice Mayor Qiu was stunned. He didn't expect Zhou Yi to go in a big circle. He first denied the test results and then suggested that the taster's professional qualifications were not enough, which he could not refute.

"Haha, that makes sense! Vice Mayor Qiu, I also think it is a bit hasty to convict someone based on the tasting results of just a few fellow villagers¨..."

With laughter, Ohara City Public Security Bureau Chief Hu Wannian walked into the courtyard, followed by a middle-aged man, about forty-five or six years old, fair and clean, with no official air about him, but with the elegance of a scholar.

He was so angry. He nodded to Vice Mayor Qiu and said with a smile: "Hello, Mayor Qiu."

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

Vice Mayor Qiu is an amateur gourmet lover, and his usual hobby lies in this mouth, so he often socializes with people in the gourmet circle, so he naturally recognized him as Professor Ling Chong from Ohara Medical University. Ling Chong studied medicine.

What I love most is food, and there is a story in it.

It is said that when he was teaching surgery, he often gave anatomy classes to students. Over time, he suffered from occupational diseases and could no longer eat meat and became a vegetarian. Later, he met a mysterious famous chef who cooked for him.

A dish of braised pork cured his partial eclipse. Since then, he has become a staunch "food researcher" and has published many books on food culture. He has become a well-known professional foodie in Ohara City.

"Zhou's braised pork is also my favorite food. I heard from Director Hu that there was a case of braised pork being stolen here, so naturally I had to come and take a look."

Ling Chong smiled and nodded to the Zhou family, then glanced at Zhou Yi: "This little comrade is right. The judgment of food is often a very subjective matter. If it is just ordinary people tasting it, there will inevitably be deviations. However,

This kind of deviation must also be based on considerable strength. If this little comrade is not a thief who steals brine, then he is very skilled in craftsmanship. I would like to have a try¨¨¨"

When Zhou Yi celebrated his birthday, many people from the food circle of the six northern provinces were present because of Cao Yidao and He Kuangyao, two great chefs in the culinary world. Among them were several great foodies from Shanyin. But

Ling Chong was a "midway monk" and was not invited, so he didn't know Zhou Yi. At this moment, he was just curious and wanted to see if Zhou Yi was quibbling or if he really had skills and could make the brine as good as the Zhou family's ancestral brine.

extent.

"Director Hu, is this Professor Ling you invited?"

Vice Mayor Qiu frowned and glanced at Hu Wannian with some displeasure. He and Ling Chong were still half-friends, and he had no objections to Ling Chong, but Hu Wannian didn't even say hello beforehand, and suddenly brought a food expert.

Coming over made him feel very uncomfortable.

"Yes, Mayor Qiu, this case is related to Shanyin's 'local famous brand', how dare I neglect it? But Professor Ling is a busy man, and I don't know if he will be invited, so I didn't tell you in advance.

I said hello and invited Professor Ling and rushed over directly. It’s really a bit abrupt, don’t you blame me?”

Hu Wannian first looked at Zhou Yi, nodded slightly, and then explained to Deputy Mayor Qiu with a smile. This is old officialdom, unlike his nephew Hu Niu, who is young and frivolous. With a set of Tai Chi, Deputy Mayor Qiu

No matter how unhappy he was, he couldn't say anything. He could only nod and said: "Director Hu did a great job, how could I blame you? Professor Ling, you came at the right time. I was just looking for a professional food judge."

To identify these two kinds of brine, your arrival will be a timely help."

"Haha, you're welcome then. I'm anxious to see it too."

Ling Chong looked at Zhouyi. The young man looked bookish, which gave him a good first impression: "Are you the suspect?"

"Professor Ling, my name is Zhou Yi."

"Okay, okay, I understand the basic situation.

If you really didn’t steal it, but could make brine comparable to the Zhou family’s old brine, then you would be a genius, let me try it¨…”

After saying that, Ling Chong asked Zhou Dazhu for a cup of warm water. He first dipped his chopsticks into some Zhou's old stew and put it into his mouth. He shook his head and tasted it for a while, then repeatedly said: "Good stew, good stew...¨" and then rinsed his mouth with warm water.

Then he tasted the brine made by Zhou Yi.

"Hmm...Okay, it's really good!"

He praised both companies for co-authoring the brine, but did not give any results.

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

"Mayor Qiu, you are also a semi-professional gourmet, why don't you come and try it too?" Ling Chong hesitated and said.

"Okay, I'm just about to try it too."

Vice Mayor Qiu had actually been tempted for a long time, but it was a bit inappropriate for the mayor to taste the brine in front of many villagers. At this time, with Ling Chong's suggestion, he just went down the hill.

"Hmm..." After tasting the brine from both sides, Vice Mayor Qiu didn't say anything for a long time, just looking at Ling Chong.

"It's hard to tell, isn't it?"

Ling Chong smiled slightly: "I'm not afraid of everyone laughing, but it's hard for me to make a decision. The two brine seemed to be exactly the same when I first tasted it, but after tasting it carefully, it seemed that the brine made by the suspect Zhou Yi had a longer and better aftertaste.

One chip... But again, it seems that the Zhou family's old brine is better, and it seems impossible to say that the brine made by this young man can be better than the old brine passed down by the ancestors of the Zhou family... In short, my level

We are limited, but I am really ashamed of my trust in Director Hu and Vice Mayor Qiu to make a correct judgment. I am ashamed, I am ashamed."

Depend on!

The villagers wanted to roll their eyes when they heard this and said, "You have said so much, so it turns out that you are also a fool?" Vice Mayor Qiu looked solemn. Although he was only half a gourmet, he also had the same feeling, just like Ling.

As the professor said, it was difficult to make a decision at the moment, it was too confusing.

Now there is no way to confirm that Zhou Yi's brine is stolen goods. Should he arrest Zhou Yi and his son first, and then slowly collect evidence, or should he withdraw the task force in disgrace? Vice Mayor Qiu hesitated. Years of experience in the ups and downs of officialdom have made him develop a good temperament.

Good at discovering dangers and having the instinct to avoid risks, he intuitively felt that something was wrong today! First, Hu Niu contradicted him, and then Hu Wannian came in person with Ling Chong, and this young man named Zhou Yi faced him.

The deputy mayor seemed too calm...

After looking at Hu Wannian's uncle and nephew Qiu again, Vice Mayor Qiu finally made a decision: "Professor Ling feels the same as me. We are unable to draw accurate conclusions and cannot prove that the suspect's brine is 'stolen goods'. We are x-products

Party members and state cadres will not let a bad person go, nor will they wrongly accuse a good person, so I declare that the joint handling of the case is temporarily suspended, waiting for the public security organs to further collect evidence before entering the judicial process..."

"Old fox...¨"

Hu Wannian cursed secretly. He was quite disappointed by Vice Mayor Qiu's vigilance. This guy didn't completely turn against Zhou Yi because of this case, which made him feel that there was something wrong in the ointment.

But since the superior leader had spoken, he couldn't say anything, so he could only agree: "What Mayor Qiu said makes sense. I have no objection."

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

After all, Zhou Shengli was young and energetic, so he didn't know how powerful he was, and he still thought about it just in case.

"Sheng Li, don't say any more." Zhou Tianqing, an old man, felt something was wrong and quickly scolded his grandson.

"Haha, Mayor Qiu, I also think this matter shouldn't be understood so easily."

Zhou Yi smiled slightly and said: "The joint investigation of the case by the Dayuan City Public Security Bureau and the Procuratorate has created such a big momentum, and the reputation of my father and I has been ruined. So we must explain that Shanyin Province is so big, there are always people who can distinguish between these cases."

Is there an expert on the two kinds of brine? If that doesn’t work, then we can find gourmet experts from Kyoto and all over the country to taste the brine. If you need funds, I can pay for it!”

"What? Are you willing to pay to hire experts to taste the brine?" Vice Mayor Qiu has been in the officialdom for so many years and has been in charge of political and legal work for a while. This is the first time I have seen such a recalcitrant 'suspect'.

.Zhou Yi's suggestion stunned him, and for a moment he didn't know how to answer.

"Mayor Qiu, Comrade Xiao Zhou's mood is understandable. How about... we hire some gourmet experts?"

Hu Wannian's heart was filled with joy, and he thought, "Old enemy, old enemy, now you know how powerful it is. Do you want to leave midway? This Mr. Xiao Zhou is not easy to mess with, and he won't do it yet."

"Mayor Qiu and Director Hu, there is no need to go to Kyoto to hire gourmet experts. As far as I know, there is a brilliant gourmet in Ohara. Although he is not well-known, he is really good and he loves braised pork.

.If you let him taste the brine, he will definitely be able to make an accurate judgment."

Ling Chong didn't want to get into trouble at first, but as a professional foodie, this brine case really made him extremely curious.

"oh?"

Vice Mayor Qiu breathed a sigh of relief. It is much better to find professional gourmets in this city than to go to Kyoto or even across the country. After all, they are still in their own land. If it turns out that Zhou Yi and his son are

The person who was wronged could control the situation himself so that it would not have too bad an impact: "Professor Ling, I don't know the name of the professional gourmet you mentioned. Do I know him?"

"Haha, you don't know him.

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