On the podium.
Hear the prompt from Shen Jianze.
Gu Qunqing's brows suddenly raised slightly.
finally come.
He bowed slightly towards the screen and said to Yang Wenjuan with gratitude:
"Okay, thank you Director Yang for bringing us this news. Thank you very much for your hard work and the other staff of the Magic City Animal Harmless Treatment Center. Now please continue."
"Okay, Manager Gu."
Yang Wenjuan smiled and nodded at him, sat up straight, and continued:
"Because this incident has attracted very high social attention and pressure from public opinion, we have heard about it even as far away as the Magic City."
"Therefore, out of the social responsibility of an official organization, our center attaches great importance to the coordination letter sent by HKUST and mobilizes almost all available personnel to cooperate."
"After checking the name and finding no record of the Ragdoll cat 'Tiaotiao', we contacted major community pet hospitals in Shanghai and related cooperative institutions through our own internal channels."
"It just so happens that the blogger named [Tiaodiao also needs to be full] often appears in videos and speaks out, and the name of his community has also been mentioned many times."
"So we didn't spend much effort to locate the pet hospital that the blogger had visited and retrieved the video of that day."
"Currently, our center has sent the relevant video to the Technology Center of HKUST, and the authorization procedures have been completed. Manager Gu, I'm finished."
Snapped!
Gu Qunqing clasped his hands together and made a grateful gesture towards Yang Wenjuan:
"Okay, thank you again, Director Yang Wenjuan, and all the staff at the Magic City Animal Harmless Treatment Center."
"Here, we sincerely hope that the industry of harmless animal treatment can cover the whole country as soon as possible. At the same time, we also hope that all pets in the world can find a kind-hearted owner."
Hearing Gu Qunqing's words.
Chen Shanshan in the audience was stunned.
Can pets meet kind-hearted owners?
There seems to be something in Gu Qunqing's words.
But before she could think about it, Gu Qunqing looked at the audience again:
"Okay, let's not talk nonsense and ask the technicians to connect the video to the big screen!"
After a few seconds.
The picture of Yang Wenjuan on the screen disappeared and was replaced by a surveillance video of an office hall.
The video has medium definition, and there is a line of text in the upper left corner:
2023-01-11, 14:32, Changning Community Pet Service Center, Shanghai.
The perspective projected on the screen faces the entrance, and below is the front desk for receiving guests.
It can be seen on surveillance video.
At this time, there was a female on-duty staff member sitting on a chair boredly watching videos. The screen of her mobile phone had been coded.
at the same time.
A red arrow also appeared on the screen, pointing to a small ball next to the front desk, and four words appeared:
【Recording microphone】
Before the scene entered the theme, Gu Qunqing simply said:
"The recording equipment you see is considered standard equipment in pet hospitals - after all, when something happens to a pet, sometimes it's more troublesome than when something happens to a human."
"So now most formal pet hospitals will place cameras and microphones in public areas for recording and recording."
Some people in the audience nodded slightly. This kind of thing is normal. Some barber shops have begun to do this stuff these days.
About ten seconds passed.
A figure suddenly appeared at the entrance of the service center.
The person who came was a thin young woman with wavy hair, wearing a green dress and carrying an unknown brand of bag.
After arriving at the front desk.
The young woman lightly knocked on the front desk and spoke in a very polite tone:
"Hello?"
Only then did the staff on duty notice the person coming and quickly put their mobile phones away:
"Hello, what can I do?"
The young woman nodded and explained:
"Well... that's it. My cat passed away this morning. I would like to ask how much does it cost to bury a pet in Shanghai?"
The person on duty seemed to be a cat lover, and he said with regret:
"The cat has passed away. Please express my condolences. That's it. The price of pet funerals is now divided into several categories. It depends on how you choose."
"The first farewell process expenditure. If there is a farewell and burial, then the entire ceremony will cost about 800-1,200."
"Then comes the cremation. The cremation and the urn after the cremation cost about 200-400. The next step is customization, which can cost hundreds or even tens of thousands."
The young woman suddenly froze slightly, and her tone was obviously a little surprised:
"So expensive?"
"This isn't over yet."
The person on duty shook his head, clasped his fingers and said:
"In addition, our city does not allow burials, so tree burials are generally used - that is, the urn is buried underground and a tree is planted on it. The current fee here in the city is 3880 for five years."
“In addition to this, there are also pet specimens and ashes diamonds—the carbon molecules are first separated from the pet ashes to make graphite, and then the graphite is combined with diamond seeds, diamonds are grown in a simulated environment, etc.”
"."
The young woman fell into silence, and after a long time she said:
"That means it will cost at least 4,000 yuan at a time?"
The person on duty hummed:
"Well, that's what it would be like if you were going to a funeral."
The young woman's chest rose and fell a few times, seemingly in disbelief:
"Isn't that right? Can everyone afford such an expensive fee?"
The person on duty looked at the young woman's bag and shook his head again:
“It’s definitely not something everyone can afford, so some people will randomly abandon their pet remains in trash cans. In the past, they would also throw them into the river - but in recent years, it is prohibited to throw debris into the river, and the punishment if found is very severe. , so there are relatively few people thrown into the river, but we still can’t control those who throw trash cans.”
"It's just that pets will always have feelings after being together for a long time. Abandoning the body casually will easily pollute the environment. Secondly, it is unfair to the pets. Since you want to keep them, you must be responsible."
The words were not finished.
The young woman turned around and left without saying a word.
The video ends here.
There was a burst of discussion in the audience, and there were constant barrage in the live broadcast room:
【Mom? ! 】
[Is it me who is so vague? 】
[It should be me. That bag and clothes appeared in the video on the 18th of last month. 】
【What does this mean? What can it prove? 】
"I seem to understand."
In the talent apartment.
Wang Tong snapped his fingers and said to his girlfriend Zhang Ying:
"That is to say, the blogger named What's Full said he didn't go for a community funeral because he disliked the high price of cremation, but he told the outside world that he had been cremated, right?"
Zhang Ying nodded slightly, with a thoughtful expression:
"That should be the case. In this way, the funeral Weibo is almost killed. But what's the use of it?"
"Is it possible that HKUST is going to use this logic to say that one line of the blogger's Weibo is false and all the others are false? This seems a bit too far-fetched."
Wang Tong hesitated for a moment and seemed ready to say something.
But before the words left his mouth, he was interrupted by Gu Qunqing in the live broadcast room:
"After seeing this, some viewers may be a little confused, that is, what does this video have to do with the so-called 'truth'?"
"Don't be anxious yet, you will understand after watching another video."
"Technician, change the video!"
After a few seconds.
The live broadcast screen changed again.
This time.
The video instantly changed from a colorful indoor scene to a black and white nighttime surveillance.
The timestamp '2023-01-12, 00:03' is displayed in the upper right corner of the screen.
The location is marked as 'A11 Surveillance Area of Anxia Street'.
The probe is located at the end of a trail, with four trash cans underneath. A one-way street with street lights can be seen ten meters away.
Still less than half a minute passed.
A young woman wearing exactly the same clothes as in the morning appeared at the entrance sneakily carrying a plastic bag.
The moment the woman appeared.
The screen suddenly stopped and zoomed rapidly.
There is no arrow prompt in this zoom, but everyone can clearly see that the woman’s plastic bag is slightly exposed on one side.
Cat tail!
it is more than words.
soon.
The aspect ratio returns to normal and the video continues to play.
The young woman looked around a few times and quickly came to the trash can.
Then he opened the lid without looking and stuffed the plastic bag inside.
Finish these.
She quickly turned around and left the scene.
The video also ends here.
And this time the video is over.
In the live broadcast room, a large row of question marks suddenly surged again:
【What the hell? ? ? ? ? 】
【? ? ? ? ? 】
[The horse was lost like this? ? ? ? ? 】
【Jump jump! ! ! ! 】
I can tell.
The last kind of comments were either posted by fans who said "You also need to eat well while jumping", or by other passers-by who own cats and dogs.
In short, no matter the kind of people mentioned above, they were basically the vanguard at the forefront during the previous Internet explosions.
And now
They vaguely felt something was wrong.
Of course.
At this time, there are still a large number of netizens who have not changed their attitude on the Internet. For example, one of the big Vs called "Kiwi Dried Fruit" immediately posted a piece of content:
【so? What does this mean? I admit that there are indeed problems with the way we deal with satiety, but behavior aside, can this be used as an excuse to whitewash toxic products and scumbags? 】
In just half a minute.
The number of comments under this Weibo exceeded 150, gathering a large number of supporters.
At this time, Gu Qunqing couldn't see the comments on the Internet, but he could get a rough idea by thinking about it with his eyes closed.
Then he delayed it for three or four minutes on the grounds that there was a problem with the microphone. After the online comments began to ferment, he said leisurely:
"Dear media guests and audience friends, as you can see, this video is a surveillance video provided by Anxia Street, CN District."
"The relevant procedures have been approved by the Changning Public Security Bureau and the Shanghai Municipal Public Security Bureau."
"If my guess is correct, many people may now hold the idea that although abandoning pet corpses is a bit excessive, it is two different things from 'killing a beetle' with poison, right?"
"Unfortunately, you couldn't be more wrong."
Said.
Gu Qunqing pulled out a document from under the podium and gently raised it toward the camera:
"The blogger named 'Feng Feng' made a mistake, that is, she thought that as long as people were quiet at night, nothing would happen if she secretly abandoned the cat's body - because there were many people who had done the same thing, and they had never heard of being held accountable. of."
"But what I want to say is..."
“For some gray incidents without clear legislation, the official does not look for you not because they can’t find you, but because there is no need to waste more human resources.”
"For example, Se Se, or abandoned pet remains."
Then he paused and said:
"Okay, let's get back to the incident itself. What I want to tell you now is the follow-up to this surveillance period."
"Magic City started sorting garbage a few years ago, so the remains of this ragdoll cat were discovered by our royal workers the next day and sent to the sanitation site for pre-processing in accordance with regulations."
"Then as required, it was transported to the Animal Harmless Treatment Center in Shanghai that night to prepare for cremation."
"However, because we had already contacted Director Yang at that time, the remains of the Ragdoll cat were eventually stopped before cremation."
"."
Hearing Gu Qunqing's words.
The scene suddenly fell silent.
After a few seconds.
The scene and live broadcast room exploded like bombs that had been detonated.
When Gu Qunqing saw this, he didn't stop him, but drank the water leisurely.
Such important information cannot be digested without giving it some time.
Building 14, HKUST.
As students led by Xu Yun as a teaching assistant, Chang Licheng, Ye Guohong and others will naturally not miss today's press conference.
These two people are currently the squad leader and branch secretary of Class 2 of the Department of Applied Physics. They were also the ones who were called by Xu Yun to test the fifth-generation imidacloprid, the source of all evil that caused millions of cockroaches to invade the dormitory.
"Strange."
Hearing Gu Qunqing's words.
Chang Licheng, who disliked the trouble of long hair and shaved his head, touched the blue stubble and said inexplicably:
"Director Yang at the front clearly said that he couldn't find Tiaotiao, so why is the circle going back to the Animal Harmless Treatment Center now?"
"Why don't you just be direct and tell this from the beginning?"
"you're so dumb?"
Ye Guohong on the side sneered and lightly kicked Chang Licheng's calf:
"Can these two things be the same?"
Seeing that Chang Licheng was still confused, Ye Guohong patiently explained:
"It's not like you haven't seen those crazy people on the Internet. If Manager Gu didn't go through the previous titles and two videos and directly said that the Magic City Animal Harmless Treatment Center found the body of 'Tiao Tiao', you guess the Internet would How to say?"
"If you think about it with your socks that haven't been washed for a week, if you say the result without evidence, you will be labeled as a 100% fake, okay?"
Chang Licheng was stunned for a moment.
seem
Is this really the case?
These days, refuting rumors is a step-by-step approach. Often, the result of refuting rumors is not a good thing.
Although in terms of results.
'Tiaotiao's' body did eventually return to the Animal Harmless Treatment Center, but these were two completely different lines:
One is the official line.
That is to say, the verification items - community pet hospital - service center surveillance video, this is the funeral process.
The other is a private line.
That is to say, the blogger named Panfan abandoned the body, and through the 'intermediary' of the sanitation worker, it finally returned to the animal harmless treatment center.
This is completely different from Yang Wenjuan's direct statement that "our center has found Tiaotiao's body."
Looking at Chang Licheng who seemed to have some realization, Ye Guohong sighed again:
“In addition to avoiding being slapped, HKUST’s approach also achieves a more important purpose.”
Chang Licheng was slightly startled:
"The more important purpose? Isn't this video intended to hammer down the fact that bloggers abandon pet carcasses?"
"ha?"
Ye Guohong rolled his eyes at his good friend again and shook his head with emotion:
"Of course not."
Then he pointed at the two lines he drew and said more seriously:
"Have you not noticed that after this complicated process, HKUST has legitimately obtained a product with clear origins and no suspicion of forgery?"
"'Tiao Tiao's corpse."
