Chapter 82: Pyramid Schemes (1)
There was no thangka in the hallway.
I looked at Zhang Yi, and Zhang Yi said, "I definitely won't let him come to this kind of place." ”
I followed Zhang Yi downstairs.
Actually, in the end. It's not me who wants to see Thangka the most, but Zhou Yusen, but now that Zhou Yusen has returned to City C, it is impossible to come back from City C all at once.
Zhang Yi drove me to a small hotel about a long distance away, which was even more dilapidated than the one I was staying in, and looked like a residential area in the area to be demolished.
Zhang Yi took me upstairs, a room on the easternmost side of the second floor, and when I opened the door, I saw a figure sitting on the bed smoking a cigarette.
Thangka.
Thangka silently turned his head and glanced at me.
Compared to three years ago. Thangka looks thinner and more robust, the skin on his face is very tanned, but his eyes are still as black as ever.
Thangka extinguished the cigarette in the ashtray. I noticed that his fingers were no longer slender and pretty, but black, rough and calloused, and even on the back of his hand, there were some long and short scars.
I walked over. Called "Thangka".
He looked up, and when he got closer, I could see clearly that there was a long scar on his chin, probably not long after the scab and molting, a little tender pink, which was particularly obvious on a dark face.
Thangka said: "Du Jiayin. Thank you. ”
These were the first words that Thangka said to me when we met, which was to thank you. Of course I understand what he thanked me. Thank you for taking care of Zhou Yusen for so many years, thank me for still helping Zhou Yusen, thank you for not hitting him when I saw him for the first time now.
I just hooked my lips and smiled, "Thangka, what a fucking bastard!"
I know that Thangka has not said it in the past three years, and there is a reason for him, this kind of undercover life, I really can't say when I will lick the blood on the tip of the knife, he doesn't make promises, and naturally he doesn't mention his current situation, if he is dead, then he is dead, at most he will find an organization to send his body back to his hometown.
If you live, keep doing it.
When I saw Thangka this time, I was really much more mature than three years ago, speaking more steadily, and speaking more courageously.
I asked why he was going undercover.
Tang Ka said that when he first arrived in Beijing, he first entered an advertising company, but not long after, the advertising company was mortgaged because of suspected debt arrears, and then he entered a real estate company, and was appreciated by the big boss, so he went south to do training here, and the big boss wanted to train him as a future successor, but within half a month after arriving in the south, the big boss's company was traced by the procuratorate because of some internal loopholes in the company, and then went bankrupt.
Thangka couldn't help but smile when he said this: "After all, I'm really a broom star, and my fortune will come to an end wherever I go." ”
So, in Guangzhou, Fujian, Yunnan provinces, he began to look for a place to find a job, by chance, once on the train, happened to meet a few drug dealers carrying drugs, and quickly caught these two people, the anti-drug team saw that he was good, so he was pulled in and trained for a period of time.
Thangka's physical fitness is good, and he learned sanda and martial arts as a child.
"What about your sister?" I suddenly thought of Lin Xiaoxiao.
Even now, I can recall exactly what Lin Xiaoxiao said to Thangka on the playground into the microphone, because I was so shocked at the time, so I have always remembered it.
Thangka said: "My sister got married and was in Guangzhou, and then I went undercover here, and I never contacted again. ”
I can't get in touch anymore.
It's just that if it's just for me to meet the thangka and catch up on the old days, and take such a big risk, I don't think it will be this reason.
Sure enough, Zhang Yi once again brought up the matter of asking me to help the MLM organization.
I said, "If you want to find out the leader of the MLM organization behind her, why don't you just arrest her and ask her?"
Zhang Yi said: "That's easy to startle the snake, in case the big boss runs away, out of the province, and goes abroad, it will be even more difficult to find, I promise, you will never have anything, I have been following this case for almost half a year." ”
Thangka glanced at me: "Brother Zhang is a good policeman, Jiayin, if you don't feel too embarrassed, just help." ”
I'm not a virgin, I don't care about my affairs, now I really don't want to care about everything, only the affairs of my friends, the affairs of the people I love, I feel the need to care.
Zhang Yi seemed to see my hesitation, so he took out a document from his briefcase, and I opened it to see that it was full of news about people who had been deceived by pyramid schemes in the past two years.
Zhang Yi said: "Forty percent of them have been rescued, and some have escaped by themselves, but the rest are still in dire straits." ”
I flipped through the sheets of paper and said nothing.
Zhang Yi said: "Three years ago, when my cousin was in college, she was deceived by a pyramid scheme, and she dropped out of school at that time, and went home, no matter what we said, she didn't listen, and she committed suicide by cutting her wrists once, and then we all relaxed our vigilance, and she withdrew all the family's savings and left, and she has not recovered it until now." ”
I was shocked when I heard this.
Zhang Yi said, "Miss Du, help, okay?"
Lu Jingzhong once said that I am soft-hearted, and soft-heartedness always suffers.
But now I really can't refuse.
I asked, "What do you want me to do?"
Zhang Yi told me some details, and then gave me a watch on the spot and asked me to bring it, saying that this mechanical watch has a locator installed in it, and my location can be found on the computer at any time.
I nodded and asked, "Then Zheng Rao, ...... my classmate?"
Zhang Yi said: "This time I mainly want to catch the ringleader, and your classmate is only a downline, and he will be detained in the police station for a few days at most." ”
"Is there anything you want me to bring to Zhou Yusen?" I asked Thangka as I was leaving.
Thangka lit another cigarette, as if it were a rare leisure time to watch the night outside the window and smoke a cigarette quietly.
Thangka spat out a puff of cigarette: "Tell him that I won't call him anymore, let him come here to me when he is eleven this year." ”
I didn't quite understand what Thangka meant, it's already May, Eleven, and there are still five months left.
"Eleven, you'll be able to return to your normal status?"
"Maybe. Thangka said.
On the way back, my mind was full of two things, one was how to tell Lu Jingzhong about it, and the other was how to deal with Zheng Rao tomorrow.
Because Zhang Yi drove me to the suburbs, the distance was long, and I walked back and forth, and I was delayed for more than an hour on the way, and when I returned to the hotel room, it was almost ten o'clock, and Lu Jingzhong sat on the sofa steadily, looking at me with his eyebrows raised.
I curled the corners of my lips, and secretly said in my heart that it was terrible, this was obviously waiting for my posture.
Lu Jingzhong raised his eyes, and raised his eyebrows: "That policeman called you out, right?
Really, Lu Jingzhong is so ...... when he is sour
I threw my bag on the bed, just like Lu Jingzhong walked over, wrapped his arms around his waist, buried his head in his neck, looked up and smiled brightly: "Lu Maomao, you really know me!"
He put his phone aside and raised his hand to stroke my hair: "I know yourself better than you do, little thing. ”
Lu Jingzhong won't scold me, he just taught me to learn to refuse when the time is right, and not to let myself be exposed to bad people because of a moment of soft-heartedness.
I nodded vigorously: "So what about this time?"
Lu Jingzhong said: "This time, with me protecting you, nothing will happen." ”
The reason why Lu Jingzhong said that he could protect me here is because this place is far away from City C, even if Lu Zhengyu's means are high and his arms are extended, he can't be regarded as a whip here.
And Lu Jingzhong is different, he has a few good buddies, and the power of one person may not be so strong, but a few people are enough.
I can see that this is where Lu Jingzhong is a few ranks higher than Lu Zhengyu, I held the palm of Lu Jingzhong's hand, and said to myself in my heart: My Lu Maomao will definitely get back all the things that have been lost from Lu Zhengyu's perverted hands!
…………
The next day, without me having to think hard about how to find Zheng Rao, she had already called.
She told me so kindly that I felt a little out of the ordinary.
But now I don't think about it so much, I can just borrow Zheng Rao's phone and push the boat.
This time, Zheng Rao took me to a restaurant, which is an old-fashioned restaurant, with wooden window lattices on the second floor, and you can see the shops on the street.
As I spoke, I started talking about MLM.
When it comes to Zheng Rao's old business, she has a lot to say, so she introduced me to various departments in the MLM organization, and I was dumbfounded. Dirt field garbage.
"So formal, huh?"
Zheng Rao nodded and took a sip of tea: "Of course, it is also necessary to be organized and disciplined." ”
I pretended to be very curious: "Is your pyramid scheme the same as the legal pyramid scheme Amway in our country?"
Zheng Rao waved her hand: "That's definitely different, now we still need to play up and down, but it can be expected that when we do it again, we will definitely be the next Amway." ”
This kind of words, I think, must be used to brainwash the downline during training, and with the sonorous and powerful speech, it will be exciting.
Therefore, the topic with Zheng Rao this day mostly revolved around Amway, which I sounded very interested in when she said it, and when we were leaving, I suddenly sighed: "If only I could go in and have a look inside you." ”
Zheng Rao smiled and didn't speak.
I said, "Why don't you develop me downline?"
"You're stupid," Zheng Rao pushed my head and suddenly asked, "When are you going back to school?"
I said, "One more week." ”
In fact, it is now May 5th, and school will start in two days, so it seems that I have to call the instructor and continue to renew the vacation.
The taxi sent me back first, and when I just got off the car with one leg, Zheng Rao suddenly stopped me: "The boss asked me to go back to H City in two days, and you can come with me then." ”
In the evening, when he returned to the hotel, Lu Jingzhong was on the phone, and after opening the door to the door, he turned around silently, holding the mobile phone in his left hand and putting it to his ear, but he didn't say a word from beginning to end, just "oh", "um" and "yes" tone words.
I put my bag away, shrugged my shoulders and sat down on the couch myself, casually starting to change the table.
An entertainment report is saying that Lu Jingzhong and Lan Xuan's so-called "bad movie" has a high box office, and three days before the release, it was still in the top three on the list.
However, I searched for some reviews on the Internet, and the plot is very bad, but the actors' acting skills are off the charts, especially a post that analyzes the actions and demeanors of the male and female protagonists in various scenes, and I think I can write a book.
Lu Jingzhong had already hung up the phone, and my eyes moved up from the TV: "Have you invested in this film?"
"Of course. ”
I have already guessed it, I have long known that Lu Jingzhong is very willing, as long as it is a film or TV series that he participates in, he will invest money in it and get the dividends of the final film, he is very economical.
Lu Jingzhong sat next to me, there are two sofas here, a single sofa, and a couch over there, I sat on the single sofa, and now there is another Lu Jingzhong, I was afraid of pressing his tail vertebrae, so I moved to the side.
I bluntly asked, "Are you okay with your ass?"
Lu Jing nodded again: "It's good morning, it's more than enough to roll the sheets with you." ”
I pinched Lu Jingzhong's face fiercely: "Disrespectful for the old!"
Lu Jingzhong grabbed my fingers: "Do you dislike me for being old now?"
I laughed, "How is that possible? The older you get, the more flavorful it gets." ”
Then, I told Lu Jingzhong about Zheng Rao's appointment to me out tomorrow, and Lu Jingzhong immediately called Zhu Qihong, I knew that this was for Zhu Qihong's forces to protect me, and I was relieved.
The next afternoon, I waited for Zheng Rao's phone call, saying that I should go to the long-distance bus station, and she was ready to go back to X City.
Hung up Zheng Rao's phone, Lu Jingzhong gave me a necklace around my neck, very beautiful, with a swan underneath, inlaid with diamonds: "Don't take this off." ”
