Chapter 254 The counterattack of the foodies (5000 word chapter!)(1/2)
"Uncle, now it is said online that the murderer of two incidents that happened near the Food Street recently was a restaurant owner of a Food Street. What do you think about this?"
The content of the video is very simple. In addition to filming the current situation of the food street, it is just a simple Q&A session. Judging from the old man's confused application, it seems that the script was not arranged in advance, which is very real.
"How could it be the restaurant owner of the food street? It's just a random saying, which turtle girl spread the rumors?" In the picture, the gray-haired and thin old man Luo asked cursed.
"Haha, uncle, it's not clear who is spreading rumors, and I can't be sure whether to spread rumors. Can you answer my question directly?" The photographer said awkwardly, and also included a few awkward expressions in the video and a sentence 'You are still your uncle'.
"Didn't I already answered? It's impossible that I'm the restaurant owner of the food street." Mr. Luo showed a suspicious look.
The video is accompanied by a 'shame' expression.
"Why are you so sure? Can you tell me in detail?"
"Hey, I know all the restaurant owners in the food street. Except for two of them who have been together late, they have known each other for at least five years. Those guys, who look fierce on weekdays, are actually as cowardly as... Hey, they look like something, yes, they are as cowardly as a husky!"
Photographer: "…"
"Really, it's not that I'm an old man bragging. Even if you hand the knife to them, they won't dare to take it!" Mr. Luo's Mandarin is not standard, and it has strong local characteristics. Not only does it not feel weird, but it is particularly friendly.
This can be seen from the number of likes that the video exceeds 100,000.
"Haha, uncle, can you be a little more objective?" said the photographer.
"It's very objective." Old Luo slapped the palm-leaf fan.
"Well, uncle, let's change the question. The food street is so big, there are at least one hundred restaurants. There are so many people, you can't know all of them, right?" said the photographer.
"What? There are about a hundred restaurants?" Old Luo was stunned for a moment, frowned and thought for a long time before he realized, "You are talking about the number of stores, right?"
"Yes."
"Look at the surrounding area, there are more than 100 stores, and more than 70 are empty. If you don't believe it, you can check it out or go to the police station to find out. There are relevant registrations." Mr. Luo shook his head, "Old man, I can tell you very responsibly. Although the food street is not small, there are only about twenty restaurants that are open. How can I not recognize these colors?"
"How many colors?"
"Oh, it means a few people." Mr. Luo explained.
"..." The photographer said: "Mr., you just said that there are two families who have been together late. Is it possible for them to be?"
"That's even more impossible." Boss Luo waved his hand, "These two are called 'Food Jianghu' and the other is called 'Zhao Si Seafood Food Stall'."
"Why is this?"
"Because the bosses of these two families went to the city to participate in the 7th Chef God Competition, they won the championship yesterday." Mr. Luo said this very calm and even disdainful, as if the champion was his own thing, and he would take it as long as he wanted, and was extremely willful. "By the way, when it comes to this question, I have to mention that there were four other restaurant owners who went with the three participating bosses. In other words, there were only a dozen restaurant owners who stayed in the food street."
"Uncle, maybe I didn't express it clearly." The photographer said carefully: "You have always emphasized the identity of a restaurant owner. In fact, the focus of online discussion is not limited to the restaurant owner, but also the service staff working in the restaurant, or relatives, etc.."
"Come on one by one, why are you anxious?" Mr. Luo rolled his eyes at the camera and was very contemptuous. "The people you are talking about have been questioned by the police one by one."
"Is it this morning?"
"Yes, good guy, at least thirty policemen came, all of whom were tall and big, which scared me." Old Luo's expression was very wonderful, and he subconsciously touched his trouser pocket, not knowing what he had thought of.
"Then, is there any result?" the photographer asked.
"We are all honest people, we ask and say whatever we ask, and we can provide corresponding alibi and witnesses."
Mr. Luo pointed to the photographer, "Look, although there is no surveillance on that street where the accident happened, there are inside the food street. Look, there are two at the end of the street, and there are two on the street. You can see a few more when you walk there later. So, even if you can't provide corresponding proof, these surveillance is enough to prove that you have never left the food street. No, it's not accurate to say that. At least during the time of the incident, everyone is busy in the food street. The police have investigated these things very clearly."
"Has it been investigated?" the photographer repeated.
"Yes." Old Luo spread his hands, "A police officer named Sun said that they were forced to dispatch so many police officers to such a trip because there was too much public opinion on the Internet."
“Is that post last night?”
"Iron?" As Lao Luo frowned, a big question mark appeared on the picture.
"It's okay, okay." The photographer quickly explained: "Uncle, will the things that have happened in the past two days have a great impact on the food street?"
"That must be big! It's so scary that others dare not come to the food street for dinner! I can't sell a few boxes of mineral water a day, and the business is not easy to do." Old Luo said gritting his teeth.
"How many boxes?"
"Ah, yes, I usually have to sell more than twenty boxes of water, and I want to ask someone to come and help, otherwise my old bones would have been tortured to pieces." Old Luo complained.
"Isn't this business good?" Another smile appeared on the screen.
"This is all the old customers give face." Mr. Luo sighed, "A while ago, there were a large number of strange faces coming over every day, but now there is no one."
"That's it." The photographer turned the camera and some restaurants open to business appeared in the picture. There were many customers in it, and they did not look like they were deserted as they imagined. "Aren't they afraid?"
"What's there to be afraid of in this daytime? It's also the baby Chen Chong was away these days, otherwise he would have been..." Mr. Luo suddenly slapped his mouth with a palm fan, "In short, as long as he catches the murderer, the situation in the food street will improve, and all the rumors will be self-defeating."
"Who do you think will spread rumors online?" asked the photographer.
"Hmph, who else can be there? It must be Zhao Xiaokang from the Food City." Mr. Luo said unswervingly.
"Are you so sure?"
"Of course, I tell you, this guy has never been a good bird and has always wanted to destroy our food street. If something big happens this time, it will definitely lead the finger to the food street." Mr. Luo approached the camera, "I'll tell you that the top leaders of the food city are living ungrateful wolves. They used to be merchants in the food street. Later, their wings were hard, so they brought a large group of elites from the food street to build a food city, and then...
"Old guy!!"
The video was about thirty seconds left, but Zhao Xiaokang had no intention of continuing to watch it. He had a dark face and moved his fingers and slid the video up.
Of course, Mr. Luo's final criticism did make him feel uncomfortable, but he has been intriguing with others all year round, and his ability to bear it has long reached a higher level. It is impossible for him to be really slandered by a few words of slander.
What he cares about is that the message conveyed by this video is quite powerful for the food street!
Others can't see the tricks of the video content, but he can tell at a glance. It's obvious that the shooter and Mr. Luo absolutely know each other, and the Q&A session has been carefully designed. Otherwise, under normal circumstances, how could two strangers reveal so much information? They are not a three-year-old child, so they say anything to a lollipop.
No, it’s not easy for three-year-olds to fool now.
In short, this video has three purposes. The first is to completely silence the results of the studio's hard work all night with the intervention of the police, the personality of the food street staff, and the public surveillance system.
Second, Old Man Luo used complaints to give the audience a clear understanding of the current situation of the food street, that is, the business was booming in the past and constantly attracted foreign foodies. Now, due to the influence of the environment, foreign foodies are gone, and all those left are old customers!
On the surface, the food street is indeed miserable, but in fact? The sales situation of a small shop tells the audience that even if there are only old customers left in the food street, the number of people is still large!
This shows that the food street has a very good reputation! Otherwise, there would be no way so many old customers who would still insist on taking care of their business despite the influence of the news!
The third one is also the most toxic thing about this video. All the fingers were transferred to the Food City, making the Food City a moral infamous for being unkind and unjust! This is a very terrible sign. Once the momentum begins, the Food City may really fall into the abyss that will never be restored!
Zhao Xiaokang could even guess that Old Man Luo would definitely add fuel to the fire and say some bad things about the Food City, or simply model Ling Liang guessed that the murderer was actually in the Food City, or was related to the Food City. Because of the authenticity of Old Man Luo's identity, even if everyone is skeptical about this speculation, they will not immediately ignore it.
There are more than a dozen videos below the video. You don’t need to watch them, and you know that they are interviews by the photographer with other people, such as a restaurant owner, a restaurant waiter, a guest, etc.
"Who organized and planned this video, Li Jianbang or Li Xiang?" The so-called essence from the surface, Zhao Xiaokang gradually frowned. The video seemed rough, but every question and answer was quite clever and even called precision. Based on his understanding of Li Jianbang, it was almost impossible for the latter to design such a lethal drama.
It’s not that he lacks ability, but that Li Jianbang’s age and experience are not suitable for this era of self-media.
"Maybe it's her granddaughter..." Zhao Xiaokang looked up at a place in the audience, and saw Fatty Li and others staring at the big screen for a moment, while the weird woman clenched her fists from time to time and cheered Chen Chong below at the top of her throat, frequently attracting the surprised gazes of strangers around her.
"Can such a reckless personality really make such a perfect response plan?" Zhao Xiaokang frowned and felt a strong sense of vigilance in his heart. "Maybe there is another person, and this person must be delicate in mind and hide a fatal danger in peace. If there were such a person in the Food City, the Food Street might have been taken down long ago."
Zhao Xiaokang did not realize that when this sentence came to his mind, he had actually admitted that he had failed in this public opinion.
"Time is up, please leave the answer board with both hands."
At this moment, the host's passionate voice sounded at the scene, interrupting Zhao Xiaokang's thoughts. He glanced at the comment section that was almost one-sided, then turned off his phone, and like the audience around him, he focused on the most important game.
As for the matter online, he was too lazy to pay attention to it. No matter how the food street argued or promoted it, as long as the murderer was not caught for a day, it would not absorb fresh blood. Once the murderer was caught, the food city and the food street would be in contact with the crisis. But the difference is that everyone will find that the food city has an additional chef, Du Wenlong, who defeated the old man of the emperor.
By then, the influence of the Food City will usher in a new situation, which is a volcanic eruption that has been suppressed, ignored, and ignored for four years!
Under such circumstances, Zhao Xiaokang really couldn't think of any opportunity for the food street to rise, and the old guys on the board of directors of Li Group should be impatient to sell their own shares in the food street.
As soon as he thought of this, Zhao Xiaokang smiled unconsciously. Once he had mastered the equity of the food street, he would drive away all the bed bugs inside without leaving any of them.
The host on the commentary seat was passionately explaining, while Zhao Xiaokang's thoughts were slowly drawing the future blueprint of the "New Food Street"...
...
‘This old man spoke so cutely, I was almost laughing to death.’
‘I’ve been having a long time, someone is maliciously smearing the food street...’
‘Sure enough, the fake one cannot be real, the real one cannot be fake. The little brother who supports shooting the video will rehabilitate the food street!’
‘This is evidence, there are surveillance, evidence, and police...’
‘Actually, the police left indirectly reflects that there is no problem with the people in the food street...’
'Yes, and the police's methods of handling cases are so clever. If it were as simple as the spam post said, the murderer would have been arrested long ago.'
‘The food street...what a pity.’
‘Yes, although I know there is no problem with the food street and there are still customers, I never dare to try it. I am afraid.’
'So too. After reading the news these two days, my mother kept reminding me repeatedly, saying that girls should not wander around outside and go home early. Do you know that my home is 100,800 miles away from the food street!'
‘Haha…the parents are all like this. After all, before they catch the murderer, no one dares to really make a decision that the murderer must be in the university town, and maybe they have already run to other places.’
‘It makes sense!’
‘However, after I really caught the murderer, I would definitely go back to the food street for a walk. Because I paid special attention to the food street these two days, I found that someone had recommended this place long ago, saying that there was a restaurant called 'Food Jianghu' inside that tasted so great!’
‘Hey, isn’t it the name mentioned by that old man in the first video?’
‘Yes, it is said that the owner of this store won the championship in a competition about cooking!’
‘What game?’
"Uh...I don't know the specifics, I don't pay attention to this kind of competition."
To be continued...
