Chapter 53: The Thief
It can't be said that old artists are disrespectful, Zhang Delin is indeed an old artist.
The average age of veteran artists is over 50 years old, all of them are old people, and they are all people holding grandchildren.
Children are reluctant to learn the old dialect, and now there are other young people who are willing to learn the old dialect, and Zhang Delin and they are all right.
It's just that the club is established, and the old dialect needs professional teaching materials, so that students can learn.
Wei Shiyuan went on a trip, pulled some young fans to the old man, and also set up an old club by the way, which gained a lot.
Back in Huayin, Liu Xingwu began to prepare for the compilation of textbooks, fortunately, he studied in college before, and he knew a little bit about it, and he knew a rough idea, which was just right to use.
In the past, the old dialect was passed on by word of mouth, not inside and outside, but now it has to be changed.
It is impossible for the students of Weishi Academy to learn the old dialect in Huayin all the time, they can only guide remotely, and the rest will wait for the students of the old dialect club to come to Huayin for research.
People are in good spirits on happy occasions, and Zhang He's mood has also become better.
When I returned to the theater, I arranged all the work, continued to perform, and continued to perform even if I lost money.
If this theater is closed, the old signboard outside will be gone.
Although there are not many fans of the old man now, he can't give up.
"Brother Zhang, I have something to tell you. Xiao Wang in the theater walked over and said, looking a little ugly.
Xiao Wang's name is Wang Miao, in his early twenties, he does some chores in the theater, and Zhang He is very important.
"What's the matter?" Zhang He asked.
Wang Miao sighed and said: "Brother Zhang, I have to admit my mistake first, you have been out for the past two days, the theater performance is as usual, I closed the door of the theater the night before and left, but after I came, I checked, and one of our stereos was gone." ”
"Gone?" Zhang He suddenly cheered up.
Although the equipment of the theater is rudimentary, he bought it from the second-hand market, but it is also worth a lot of money.
"Yes, I've been looking for a day, but I still haven't found it, and no outsiders have come in our theater. Wang Miao said guiltily.
Zhang He handed over the theater to him for safekeeping when he left, but only two days after he went out, a stereo was lost.
Wang Miao doesn't know how much the speaker is worth, but it's definitely not cheap.
"Brother Zhang, you punish me, I don't want my salary in the future, when will you pay me back the money for the audio, you will pay me a salary." Wang Miao's attitude was sincere.
"Don't worry, you didn't lose the stereo, what did I deduct your money for, besides, now it's time to find who took the stereo first. Zhang He stood up and said.
Losing the speaker is a big deal, but you can't panic now.
"Let's talk about the specifics. Zhang He said in a deep voice.
"The night before, I checked the theater and made sure that there was no one in it, and the equipment was all right, and then I locked the door and left, and when I came over the next morning, when I checked the equipment again, I found that there was a stereo missing, but the doors and windows were fine, and there was no sign of prying. Wang Miao recalled.
As soon as the doors of the theater were closed, there was no place to enter, unless the door was slid and locked, but the doors and windows were intact, indicating that the thief did not come in from the outside.
"Okay, I know, let's go take a look, don't worry, just throw something and find the police, and the police will help us find it." Zhang He said slowly.
The two men walked to the stage of the theater.
On each side of the stage, there are two sound arrays to put the sound into the audience.
The audio-visual effect of the back row of the small theater cannot be compared with the front row, so it can only be satisfied as much as possible.
Two sound arrays, the power supply is an independent three-phase power supply, the main speaker is on the front and outside of the stage entrance, which can prevent low-frequency whine, and can strengthen the sound reinforcement intensity through the reflection of the wall for low frequency.
On the ground on the side, there was an empty piece on the sound shelf, one speaker was missing, the wires on the stereo were pulled out and thrown on the ground, and the thief only moved the stereo.
"Brother Zhang, look, this is it. Wang Miao pointed.
There is no surveillance in the theater, so there is no way to flip through the surveillance video, but if you think about it, you can know that it must have been done by your own people.
Zhang He soon had a candidate in his heart.
In addition to the actors, there are less than ten remaining staff members in the theater, Zhang Chuan went to Weinan with him, and the others have no criminal record and can't steal, so they can only be Zhang Huan.
Zhang He is just guessing, he won't mess around, and he can't slander others casually without evidence.
"Brother Zhang, I don't dare to make decisions if you don't come back, do you want to call the police now?" Wang Miao proposed.
A speaker costs thousands of dollars, which is worth a lot of money, and it is also worth a lot of money in the future.
"Don't call the police first, call the people in the theater, gather, I want to ask about the situation. Zhang He commanded.
Fortunately, there have been no performances in the past few days, so don't worry about the sound, otherwise this will not be handled well, and the sound effect will not be good, which will affect the audience's experience.
Wang Miao didn't say anything, and hurriedly gathered all the people in the theater, gathered directly on the stage, and gathered at the scene of the crime.
Watching the scene and losing a stereo, Wang Miao felt a loss in his heart, although Zhang He did not hold him responsible, but he also had to do something.
Except for the old artists, everyone else arrived.
counted the number of people, all of them were there, except for Zhang Huan.
"Who knows where Zhang Huan went?" Zhang He said coldly.
"Zhang Huan has been in the game hall on the street for the past few days, I'll call it. A man said.
"Okay, go call. Zhang He's face was cold.
The atmosphere was very depressing, and everyone didn't dare to talk nonsense.
After a while, the man who ran out came back with an embarrassed face.
"Brother Zhang, that kid said that he was busy playing games, so he didn't have time to come. ”
"Okay, if you don't, no, I'll tell you first. Zhang He said coldly.
As soon as the words fell, Zhang Huan gasped and ran back, looking nervous and his eyes a little erratic.
"Uncle He, I just played a game, isn't this coming. Zhang Huan laughed and stood in the crowd.
"It doesn't matter if you play games, just don't interfere with the work of the theater. Zhang He's expression was cold.
"Since everyone is here, then I'll just say that our theater lost a stereo the night before yesterday, and Wang Miao found it. Zhang He said.
Some people's faces changed, and some people's faces remained the same.
This matter has been spread a long time ago, and many people know about it, and a few people just came here today, and they don't know it yet.
"Lost a stereo?" Zhang Huan said in surprise.
Looking at everyone's reactions, Zhang He analyzed them one by one.
In the past, in the factory, there were workers who filled their own pockets and took the things from the factory back to their homes.
Today the factory lost a wrench, tomorrow lost a claw hammer, it often happens, Zhang He has dealt with such things many times.
"Everyone is from Hugou Village, we are our neighbors, I believe that everyone will not do such a thing, today to say this is just to say to you, we must pay attention in the future, to keep the theater things, today lost a stereo, I think a way to make a repair, if you lose the lamp, you lose other things can not make up. Zhang He's tone was serious.
Seeing that Zhang He didn't plan to hold him accountable, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Zhang Huan's body shrank back, pretending to look the same as everyone else.
Seeing this scene, Zhang He also had an idea in his heart.
petty theft, only Zhang Huan can do this kind of thing, looking at this kid's performance, he must have done it.
"This speaker is worth 5,000 dollars. Zhang He said slowly.
"Five thousand yuan?" Zhang Huan said in shock.
No one spoke, but he spoke, and everyone looked at him.
Zhang Huan hurriedly covered his mouth and whispered: "This stereo is so expensive, whoever stole it should hand it over quickly, don't embarrass Uncle He." ”
"You don't have to worry, I'll go to the police later, 5,000 yuan is enough to file a case, and when the time comes, when the police find the thief, you will definitely go to jail, everyone doesn't have to worry, the theater performance will continue as usual." Zhang He said quietly.
The people were filled with indignation.
"Who stole the stereo, hurry up and hand it over, how can you steal anything and steal your own home?"
"Hurry up and call the police, let the police deal with it, they must be severely punished!"
"That's it, no matter who it is, if I let me know, I can't spare him!"
Several village men rolled up their sleeves and said, looking angry.
Zhang He is very popular in the village, everyone appreciates it, and Zhang He gave them a job, so that everyone can worry about food and clothing, and they can also do farm work in the field when they are idle, and they have two incomes, which improves the family situation.
Although Zhang He didn't say it explicitly, everyone could guess that the thief was among them.
Listening to the voice in his ears, Zhang Huan's face became more and more pale, and his head was covered with cold sweat.
"Uncle He, I stole it, don't call the police!" Zhang Huan said hurriedly.
He didn't expect that the stereo was worth 5,000 yuan, and if he didn't say it now, when the police caught him, he would be doomed.
"Zhang Huan, you stinky boy, Lao Tzu guessed that it was you!" Wang Miao said angrily.
Everyone stared at him with fiery eyes.
"Uncle He, I'm just a fan of money, I don't have money to play games, so I stole the stereo and sold it, I plan to redeem it when I get paid!" Zhang Huan hurriedly said, almost kneeling on the ground.
"How much did you sell the stereo?" Zhang He said coldly.
"Sold for two hundred. Zhang Huan didn't dare to raise his head and said in a low voice.
Good guy, you took a 5,000-yuan stereo and sold it for 200 yuan, and the loser didn't lose it so much.
This man is a fool.
Zhang He's last feelings for Zhang Huan in his heart were also shattered.
He is not a good man, he has given enough face to let Zhang Huan work here, and now that he has made such a mistake, there is no reason to let him go.
"Zhang Huan, is Uncle He good to you?" Zhang Chuan on the side said angrily.
"Okay, good for me!" Zhang Huan hurriedly said.
"Hello, you're still stealing?" Zhang Chuan rushed up directly, rounded his arm and smashed it with a punch.
The fist landed on Zhang Huan's face, and he fell directly to the ground, but no one went over to help him.
Zhang Erbao was not treated well in the village, but he didn't expect his son to be like this, and no one was willing to help him.
The Zhang family in Hugou Village can be poor, but they can't do illegal things, and people who are poor must have ambition.
"This kind of person should be beaten!" Wang Miao sighed.
The people present are all elders, and it is not easy to beat people, Zhang Chuan and Zhang Huan are the same generation, and they will not gossip when they fight.
Zhang Chuan smashed it with a few more punches, and then he was pulled away.
"Zhang Huan, Uncle He gives you two hundred yuan a month, you don't do anything in the theater, you touch your conscience and ask, are you worthy of these two hundred yuan?" Zhang Chuan roared angrily.
