Chapter: 4463

Uncle Zhong smiled slightly and said, "It's no big deal, we're all Chinese, we should help each other."

As he was saying that, Uncle Zhong said, "You sit for a bit first, I'll prepare the food for the guests."

The girl kept saying, "Don't worry about me, you busy yourself!"

After about 10 minutes, a police car stopped outside and two New York police officers got out of the car and entered the store, asking as soon as they opened their mouths, "Who made the 911 call just now?"

The girl quickly raised her hand and said, "I did it!"

One of the police officers looked at the girl and asked, "Can you tell us exactly what happened? Your phone was stolen, but how did it happen?"

The girl introduced herself, saying, "About 10 minutes ago, I was standing outside this restaurant talking to my friend. Suddenly a man appeared and directly snatched my phone from me."

The police nodded and asked, "Was the other person alone?"

The girl said, "At the time of the phone snatch, there was only one person. However, he quickly got into a car and left."

The police asked again, "Can you clearly describe what the phone thief looked like? Was it an Asian person, average height, lean or thin?"

The girl thought for a moment and said, "He was too fast for me to react, so I didn't get a good look at his appearance. However, I can confirm that he was an Asian man of average height, lean, and agile."

The police sighed and said, "In Chinatown, there are plenty of people who fit this description. Without detailed physical characteristics, catching the perpetrator is more difficult."

As they spoke, another officer looked around the store and pointed to one of the security cameras near the entrance, saying, "Since the incident occurred at the entrance, this camera should definitely have captured some footage. If we can get the image data of the suspect, it will make it easier to catch them."

He then turned to Chen Shouzhong and said seriously, "Boss, we need to take your hard drive recorder back and review the surveillance footage to help with the investigation."

He finished speaking with Chen Shouzhong and immediately turned to his colleague beside him, saying, "You go get the hard drive out, and we'll head back directly. We'll also take this young woman away for a record."

"Okay!" the person replied without hesitation, then asked Chen Shouzhong, "Boss, where is your surveillance system's DVR?"

Chen Shouzhong looked embarrassed and said, "Officer, there is a DVR, but it doesn't have a hard drive..."

"No hard drive?" The police chief raised an eyebrow. "I see that the monitoring camera's working indicator light is on, so how is this possible?"

Chen Shouzhong directly took out a DVR connected to a power cord from under the counter and said, "Look, it's true there's no hard drive. My hard drive has been broken for a long time, and I haven't replaced it. Since my store is small and doesn't have many customers, I don't really need it anyway. So I just leave it connected to power and use it as decoration only."

The police officer quickly walked up and discovered that the DVR's hard drive slots were indeed empty, his face immediately falling, looking gloomy. "I mean, Boss... you're too stingy! A hard drive isn't that expensive. Even a large one won't cost more than two or three hundred US dollars! How can you save money on something so simple?"

Chen Shouzhong shrugged helplessly and said, "It's no secret, Officer. Doing business in Chinatown is really tough. You have to deal with various things all the time, and it's hard to make a living. That's just the way it is."

The police officer was speechless with anger for half a day.

However, despite his anger, he knew deep down that there was nothing he could do about this.

Since there was no hard drive in the DVR, it was naturally impossible for any surveillance footage to be stored, so the plan devised by the boss had basically been foiled.

Since it's like this, there's no meaning to staying here either. So I'll open my mouth and say to that woman: "Ma'am, don't do it like that. You go with us first to make a record at the police station, and we will try our best to find other leads to help crack the case." JrNovels.com
