Chapter 119 Be a good man again
When I was lying in bed watching the news in the afternoon, I accidentally saw an old news of cheating marriage in the countryside, which reminded me of what the old kidnapper said to me.
In fact, when I heard him talk back and forth, I was also moved by compassion and thought about helping him. Now I'm inadvertently seeing similar reports, isn't God hinting that I should talk and help people to the end?
The more I thought about it, the more unhappy I felt, and finally I couldn't sit still, so I put on my clothes and went to the police station to find the kidnapper.
The kidnapper I saw this time was completely different from before, he looked like a plate of frosted eggplant, and he completely lost the toughness and toughness of the previous two meetings.
I learned from the police that this old man's name, a name that does not match his image at all - Wang Jinwei. Wang Jinwei never dared to raise his head to look at me after seeing me.
When I first came in, I heard from the policewoman who brought me in that this Wang Jinwei had a good attitude in admitting his guilt, and he also regretted his reckless behavior, and was very cooperative with every work of the police.
Seeing Wang Jinwei's appearance, I do believe that he regrets it. Didn't the ancients say that knowing mistakes can improve a lot, so I was even more determined to help him.
Since Wang Jin was embarrassed to speak, I had to speak first.
"Wang Jinwei, right? You remember me, right?" I was sure that my attitude at that time was very friendly.
Wang Jinwei glanced up at me slightly, nodded slightly, and replied in a low voice, "Well, I remember." You were the one who lied to me that day by saying that he was a journalist. ”
"Yes, it's me. ”
"You, what are you going to do? I've said everything I should say, I've recognized everything I should recognize, you, what do you want me to do?" Wang Jinwei still lowered his head, and his voice was low.
I smiled at him kindly, handed him my press card, and said, "Mine is indeed a journalist." I'm here to help you this time. ”
"You, so you're really a journalist. Wang Jinwei glanced up at me, reached out and took my press card and looked at it, and there was a light in his eyes.
"Hmm. Still smiling, I said, "Can we go through what we didn't say that day and finish it?"
"Good. Wang Jinwei nodded quickly, then clenched his hands and swallowed his saliva, and then talked about what happened next.
It turned out that in order to raise the bride price, he remembered that he had heard someone say that there are now pawn shops that can be exchanged for money. And the most valuable thing in his family is the ancestral painting, so he told her "fiancée" Chunhua her thoughts.
Unexpectedly, after a day of Chunhua, she suddenly came to tell him that she knew a friend who was very familiar with the owner of a pawn shop in the county, and she could take Wang Jinwei to go, not only to let the boss give a good price, but also to let the boss extend the redemption period by half a year compared to others.
After Wang Jinwei found out, he was especially grateful to invite this friend of Chunhua to take him to the pawn shop in the mouth of the friend. The naïve Wang Jinwei completely believed Chunhua and her friend, and the whole transaction was entrusted to that friend.
In the end, after talking with the pawnshop owner, the friend told Wang Jinwei that his painting was an imitation and was not worth a few dollars at all, but for the sake of his face, he was still willing to pay 1,000 yuan to accept the imitation.
Wang Jinwei didn't want to believe it at first, but Chunhua and her friends repeatedly went to the boss to confirm, but they all had the same result. Wang Jinwei had no choice but to believe it, and finally resisted it at a price of 1,000 yuan, and the redemption period was one year.
But what made Wang Jinwei unbelievable was that the day after the painting, he could no longer contact Chunhua. In desperation, he went to the residence that Chunhua had said, but it was already empty, and even the friend who introduced them to him was gone.
Later, on the way to find Chunhua, he learned that Chunhua and her friends were likely to be a fraud gang that made a living by cheating on marriage, and Wang Jinwei felt that the sky was about to fall in an instant.
Thinking back to the experience of knowing Chunhua, he realized that he might have really been deceived, but thinking about it, it didn't seem to have deceived him about anything, and the bride price hadn't been given yet.
Wang Jin thought that he was lucky, maybe the liar felt that he had nothing to deceive, so he regretted it and took the initiative to leave. Since the bride price he had prepared was useless, he naturally thought of redeeming the painting.
Although the painting is fake, it is also ancestral, thinking that if it is passed on for another generation or two, it may really become an antique, so Wang Jinwei took the 1,000 yuan to the pawnshop to redeem the painting.
But after arriving at the pawn shop, the boss's words completely confused him. The pawnshop owner went so far as to say that the painting was not only not fake, but also a masterpiece by a masterpiece, and it was sold for 40,000 yuan at that time, and the condition was that it could not be redeemed again.
Wang Jinwei didn't believe what the boss said, he clearly said that the painting was imitation and worthless, how could he become a famous masterpiece in a blink of an eye, and it was still sold at a high price of 40,000 yuan.
The short-tempered Wang Jinwei made a big fuss at the pawnshop, and finally alarmed the police station, but the owner of the pawnshop had a signed contract in hand, so the police station thought that Wang Jin was making trouble for the story and detained him for a week.
After coming out of the police station, the more Wang Jinwei thought about it, the more angry he became, he was unwilling to let his ancestral treasure be deceived like this, so he began to paint his way.
It's just that Wang Jinwei was born in the countryside, and he can't read a few big characters, let alone use legal means to protect his legitimate rights and interests. He reasoned with the pawnshop owner many times to no avail, and finally heard that the pawnshop owner's pawn painting was auctioned in the original market.
Wang Jinwei also followed him to the original city, so the scene outside the auction hall happened. Later, Wang Jinwei felt that it was hopeless, and he felt that Lao Qi was a few nouveau riche who had no bad money, and his family was definitely not short of money, so he thought of kidnapping and ransom.
In the end, Wang Jinwei also said that he didn't expect to stumble on me, and he was just one step away from succeeding. But now it's a one, not only did I not get the painting, but I also put myself in.
Saying that, Wang Jinwei also cried, and said to me with a handful of snot and tears: "Reporter Xia, I really regret it, I regret that I shouldn't have been obsessed with spring flowers in the first place, and I shouldn't have been dizzy to kidnap and blackmail." I know I'm going to go to jail right now, but what about my seventy-year-old mother, who is still alone at home waiting for me to take care of her. ”
I really didn't expect Wang Jinwei to be a dutiful son, and I was very touched by this. I'm going to help him too.
"Wang Jinwei, don't worry. I'll find a way to help you get your sentence commuted, but I also hope that you can learn from it in the future and don't make the same mistakes again. I comforted Wang Jinwei, "As for how you were deceived, I will also help you explain it clearly to the police, as long as you actively cooperate with the police, I think you should be able to catch the female liar soon, and your money should be recovered by then." With the money, you can redeem the painting again. ”
I admit that I was a little too optimistic about catching scammers, China is so big, and scammers are so cunning, and there are a few people who can solve cases and catch people in a short time.
But in order to give Wang Jinwei a psychological comfort, I am a little optimistic, he should be understandable. After all, where there is hope, there is hope, and what people need in the darkest times is not a glimmer of light?
After listening to my words, Wang Jinwei really immediately seemed to see the sunshine, sobbing and asking me: "Reporter Xia, is what you said true?"
"Of course it's true, I, Xia Jing, always count when I speak!" I straightened up and smiled at Wang Jinwei with great certainty, "I will also talk to the leader about your affairs." If the boss agrees, I'll let it be reported as soon as possible. It is hoped that the majority of readers will also provide valuable clues for the case after seeing the newspaper, and can help the police solve the case as soon as possible. ”
Wang Jinwei was naturally very moved when he heard this, thanked and bowed, as if I was his great benefactor, and completely forgot that he would come here, and I have a great deal of credit.
After talking, when Wang Jinwei was leaving, he suddenly turned around again and asked me seriously: "Reporter Xia, is the painting you brought that day really the one that is my family's ancestor?"
I was really choked by his words at the time, if not, would he have ignited the resentment that had just been calmed down?
I leaned back and slowly grasped the edge of the table with one hand, the muscles in my cheeks twitching twice, and the smile on my face began to stiffen.
"No!" I finally told Wang Jinwei the truth quickly. Because I don't want him to doubt my attitude anymore.
Unexpectedly, Wang Jinwei breathed a sigh of relief, smiled happily and said to me: "That's great!"
"Huh?" I was so surprised that I bent my back to the front.
I only heard Wang Jinwei explain: "I was in a hurry to trample on that painting beyond recognition. ”
"Ahh
I was just thinking that if I had just chosen to lie, it might really be hatred again.........
Since I promised to help Wang Jinwei, I will definitely do it. The first thing is to help him get a chance to be sentenced, so he has to go to Lao Qi and his wife first.
After coming out of the police station, I went directly to Yingying's painting. I'm so impatient, I didn't even look at the time when I went, and everyone was ready to get off work when I got there.
I used to wonder if Yingying was in business, people don't sell things until dark, they are good, at five o'clock in the afternoon, so all the people in the front office will get off work. He also said that this was to leave quiet time for the artist to concentrate on his creation.
After I came in, I subconsciously looked around, but I didn't see the person I wanted to see, and I came to Yingying's office with some loss. It's understandable that employees are active after work, but I didn't expect Yingying, the boss, to be very positive.
When I came in, she was getting dressed and ready to go. How could I let go of such an opportunity to tease her.
He Yiyang's inner monologue
My tranquility is really too kind.
