Chapter 38: Secret Arrest (2)
The two interrogated Zhang Jin and Xun Yuanchun non-stop, to their surprise, these two people also cooperated very well, and explained the whole process of stealing the Guanyin statue clearly, probably Zhang Jin was responsible for entering the house and transporting it, Xun Yuanchun was responsible for stealing the beams and replacing the pillars with mud tires, and they even hid the secret matter of the dumb man hiding the Guanyin statue in Li Qiwen's coffin, and they did not hide it at all.
It turned out that Zhang Jin, who has always been lazy, has "made a fortune" by petty theft in recent years, and just bought a pickup truck at the beginning just to be fresh and poor, and it is also convenient to run away after stealing. Later, I drove a lot of cars, and found that it was still a very profitable business, so I had nothing to do to engage in illegal operations, and there were more opportunities to enter the city. In the past few years, just in time for the antique craze, Zhang Jin moved his mind, he took advantage of the information asymmetry, door-to-door collection of some broken copper and iron, old furniture, ancient coins, old silverware and so on, into the city to sell to antique shops, tickets really make a lot of money.
In this way, after three days of fishing and two days of drying nets, Zhang Jin changed his shotgun, changed his pickup truck to a commercial car, and later bought a small truck, wearing gold and silver, suits and leather shoes. He thought he had found a shortcut in life, and his ambition became more and more inflated, especially the praise of the card players at the gambling table, which made him forget who he was.
In order to expand his business, he privately recruited the gambler Zhang Kun and the gambler Xun Yuanchun, and also pulled a few villagers who wanted to take advantage of it, and quietly started the business of stealing yew trees, and made a lot of money, which brought Zhang Jin's self-confidence to the peak, and often regarded himself as a farmer entrepreneur.
His mind is really lively, at first he simply resold logs, and later found that root carvings, tea sets, Buddha statues, etc. seemed to be more profitable, so he pulled up the craftsman Li Qiumao through Xun Yuanchun, who was responsible for the processing of raw materials.
However, Zhang Jin has always been cautious and ruthless, and he is good at fooling, even for his accomplices, he also has something to hide, often after making money, he takes most of it, but gives a few people to share the small profits, but his mouth is good, if you want to really make a fortune, you must buy a shop in the city, this is the long-term solution. To tell the truth, although Zhang Kun, Xun Yuanchun and others have joined the gang, they have always been local veterans, how can they understand the ways of doing business in the city, Li Qiumao is an honest person, let him do whatever he wants, and he doesn't even say a word of nonsense.
After a flicker, these people even believed Zhang Jin's statement, and almost took a pitiful salary to help him work in the past few years. Zhang Jin was overjoyed, and seemed to see the hope of green smoke on the ancestral tomb, and really set up a large store in the city, specializing in selling yew products.
Unfortunately, the good times did not last long, and foreign experts trumpeted the anti-cancer function of yew, which further contributed to the rampant illegal logging, and the whole country mourned and the stock of yew decreased sharply and was on the verge of extinction. This has aroused great attention from the relevant departments of the state, and the forestry department has been instructed to immediately rectify and protect it as soon as possible, and to identify yew as a first-class protected plant, prohibit all logging, and the poachers will bear criminal responsibility.
Zhang Jin is legally illiterate, coupled with the remote location of Luoshui Village, he didn't know that there was such a thing for several years after the policy was promulgated, until his store in the city was suddenly reported and raided, and the entire store was sealed, only to suddenly wake up, fortunately, the legal provisions were not perfect at that time, Zhang Jin was only released after squatting in the detention center for half a year.
Zhang Jin, who squatted in the class room, thought that this life was over, but he didn't expect to drink with a few fox friends and dog friends, only to find that the antique trade is becoming more and more popular now, and he will auction it at a sky-high price at every turn. Zhang Jin secretly slapped his thigh, regretting that he had done all these thankless illegal logging transactions all these years, and in the end he didn't make any money, not to mention, and went to prison.
Nowadays, the antique trade is legal, and Luoshui Village is an authentic antique village, although it didn't make much money before, but it has also been done. Zhang Jin seemed to see the palace of wealth open to him again, and once again summoned a few old brothers, and this group of like-minded guys hit it off again.
But this time, Li Qiumao did not join, the reason is very simple, he is just a pure craftsman, he knows nothing about antiques, not to mention that he is quite jealous of his eldest brother Li Qisi, Li Cun is absolutely not allowed to buy and sell antiques, the eldest brother's punishment method is clear to him, but don't look at Li Qiumao's honest hand, he is also a little cautious, he has made a dark line in private before, that is, Hei Qi's business, seeing Zhang Jin's halberd sinking into the sand, Li Qiumao turned to cooperate with Hei Qi, secretly continued the sale of yew, and no longer participated in Zhang Jin's illegal activities。
But in general, these people are like grasshoppers tied to a rope, and they are still indispensable to help each other, but they are just a little falling apart.
Now, Zhang Jin and Zhang Kun are in one line, Li Qiumao and Hei Qi are in one line, and Xun Yuanchun relies on his ability to dress up as a god and make ghosts, which is all eaten on both sides, and this is probably the situation.
Until Zhang Jin accidentally aimed at the Buddha statue of Guanyin Temple, he was ecstatic, and with his shallow knowledge of treasure appreciation, he accidentally found an inscription from the Song Dynasty at the bottom of the Buddha statue, which was simply a fatal temptation. So Zhang Jin began to plan a detailed plan to steal the Buddha statue day and night, and finally finalized the plan to steal the beams and replace the pillars.
The so-called mountain has its own mountain high, and there are people outside the sky.
After going through prison, Zhang Jin's actions were low-key enough, but there was still Hades who came to the door. The dumb man didn't know where he learned about his plan of action, and repeatedly came to the door to threaten to get a piece of the pie, Zhang Jin pretended to be at first, using various tricks to refuse, and the dumb man didn't say anything, just stared at Zhang Jin and a few people all day long, which made him unable to act.
It wasn't until last year's month that Zhang Jin was accidentally in distress when entering the mountain, he knew that the dumb god could not be provoked, and after several trade-offs, he reluctantly cut his flesh and let the dumb man participate in the plan, after all, no matter how much money he had, his life was not as important, so spend money to eliminate the disaster.
As the so-called wicked people have their own wicked people to grind, the addition of the dumb man is called providing force protection, in fact, he doesn't do anything specific, and even steals in the Guanyin Temple, and the dumb man has never appeared, not to mention the assistance of other aspects, which is equivalent to knocking a real bar, which inevitably makes several other people secretly guilty.
Until the Buddha statue arrived, Zhang Jin planned to make a quick decision, quietly sold the Buddha statue, and then falsely reported the price, and sent the dumb man, but he never thought that the dumb man suddenly appeared and stopped the truck transporting the stolen goods, and after they were beaten flat, he took away the Guanyin statue.
The bamboo basket was empty, and Zhang Jin was busy for nothing, and he didn't get any benefits. But it's strange to say, people are cheap and invincible, and after being robbed by the dumb man like this, Zhang Jin bowed down and became the lackey of the dumb man and was completely subdued.
That's how the boss is refined, and the comparison is who is ruthless and who has hard fists.
Li Yiting asked again whether the deaths of Li Qiwen and Li Qiumao were related to a few of them, and Zhang Jin insisted that they had not done anything bad except for theft. Because there is no evidence, the confessions of several people can be justified, and Chen Tianyu can only give up for the time being, and then make plans after the dumb man is brought into the case.
In other words, the theft has come to light, but the homicide has not progressed at all.
This made the two of them feel a little annoyed.
