For instance, there were telephone scams, health product frauds, free kitchenware giveaways, assistance with identity registration, and so forth.
"Xiao Qin, the police station has the results for that case. Someone's coming to the entrance to pick me up. They want me to identify the person who was selling those health products. I won't be back for lunch today."
"Old Song, wait for me! I'm also heading to the police station. I just reported a telephone scam the day before yesterday, and the police are looking for me too."
"How come all of you are being called to the police station? Why am I the only one dealing with the Consumer Association?"
"Xiao Qin, I won't be coming back either. The kid who cursed at me the other day was caught by the police. The officers want to mediate, but no way!"
And so it went. From time to time, elderly people would come into the office to update Qin Mu on the latest developments.
