Chapter 73: The Cause of Mary's Death
"Who are these people?" Jia Lei asked with a frown. small says .
"Some of them are friends of Ma Li, and the other people are the bad guys of Tomary for dollars, and Ma Li was robbed of 200,000 US dollars this time, and the money belongs to these people. Xia Fatzi smoked a cigarette and said that he had lost several pounds in just two days.
"Then what are they doing in the hospital?" Jia Lei asked with a frown.
"Most of these people are here to see off Ma Li, and a few of them may be here to ask for money...... "Xia Fatzi said worriedly.
"People are dead, do they still come to ask for money at this time?" Jia Lei said angrily.
"Hey, many people also borrow the capital to do business, and they also have hardships!" Xia Fatzi said helplessly.
"Sister Ma Li, why didn't you jump with me in the first place! If you jumped with me, maybe you wouldn't die. Hong Xia threw herself on Ma Li and cried bitterly, her head still wrapped in bandages.
"It's just that all of us ran as we could, and only Mary refused to jump into the river!" said another injured man.
"Well, maybe Mary thought she couldn't pay off her life after losing so much money, so she didn't run away! But Mary died like this, and she would trap us people!" said one of the Tomary dollar traders.
"That is, Ma Li swore that she knew a rich man who could help everyone exchange rubles for yuan, so everyone gave her their savings! Another person said.
"I said a long time ago that women's words are unreliable, you have to believe Ma Li, this time the money is gone, right?" said a triangular-eyed man gloatingly, and Jia Lei glanced at him angrily.
"Our Ma Li is not a liar, don't talk about her like that! Ma Li's husband suddenly stood up and said that everyone in the hospital was stunned by his words.
"You're crazy! how can we have so much money to pay to others?" said Ma Li's mother, who quickly shook her head, but her eyes were a little panicked.
The people in the house were all human spirits, and many people immediately noticed that there was something wrong here.
"Hey, Auntie, it's not easy for us to do some business, all this money is our hard-earned money, and we don't want much! As long as we can pay half of it." Triangle Eye said immediately.
"Zhang Shan, don't say it, it's a Chinese tradition to settle debts when people die!"
"We don't have any money, we really don't have money!" said Mary's mother, who nodded her head as well.
"Mom, it's a matter of course to repay the debt, this money was lost by Ma Li, we should help her pay it back! I want everyone to know that Ma Li is not a liar. Ma Li's husband said, and then he reached out and took out a deposit certificate from the People's Bank of China from the mezzanine of Ma Li's underwear.
If you take a closer look, there is a foreign exchange deposit of 400,000 US dollars in this deposit certificate.
"Smack, what the hell are you going to do this nerd? If it weren't for the fact that you only know that teaching can't make money, would my daughter have gone to Moscow alone to become a traitor? This money was bought by Mary with her life, how can you just give it to someone else. Ma Li's mother snatched the deposit slip and slapped her son-in-law hard and said.
"Mom! I hate this money, if it weren't for this money, Ma Li would have jumped into the river with the others to escape! Ma Li used to be a swimmer team, if she was sure that she would not die if she jumped into the river, but she didn't jump into the river because she was reluctant to use this deposit slip. Ma Li's husband cried.
"I know, of course I know why Mary didn't jump into the river! My daughter has always valued this money more than her own life, and Mary often tells me that when she saves enough money, she will be able to immigrate with her son!" said Mary's mother, crying.
Before this certificate of deposit appeared, many people didn't plan to ask Ma Li's family for their own money, but at this time, some people couldn't help but be moved when they saw the certificate of deposit.
"Auntie, you see we gave the money to Ma Ma at the beginning...... She said...... "There was a middle-aged man who stumbled and stumbled, and he still wanted his hard-earned money back.
"If you want money, come to me, don't go to that poor family!" Jia Lei suddenly stood up and said.
"Looking for you, who are you, and does it have anything to do with this?" the middle-aged man looked at Jia Lei and asked puzzled.
"It's none of your business, children, don't meddle! Ma Li's husband hurriedly said.
"I am the rich man that Ma Li said in her mouth, and Ma Li was in the business of exchanging rubles for yuan with me at the beginning. Since I'm Mary's business partner, I'll pay for your loss. Jia Lei straightened his waist and said.
"Do you pay?" asked Triangle Eye, suspiciously.
"Of course I can afford it, Dasha, you open the bag and show them!" Jia Lei said.
"Okay!" Dasha immediately opened his bag when he heard this, revealing a pile of checkbooks.
"This is a bearer cash check from the People's Bank of China, as long as you hold it, anyone can go to the bank in the capital to withdraw money, you all know it, right?" Jia Lei casually opened a check and asked.
"Yes!" everyone nodded.
"Oh my God, how much is this check worth?" Triangle Eyes asked in surprise.
"This money is not much, but it is worth more than 10 million yuan! I need too much money, and the rest of the banks are printing it for me in the printing house! I now announce that any Chinese can exchange rubles into my hand for a cash check for renminbi. Jia Lei took out a check and threw it on the windowsill and said, triangular eyes immediately went up to open it and carefully checked the authenticity.
"It's true!" said a group of people who looked around the check.
"Can you really help everyone change rubles? The Chinese in Moscow are not a small number?" immediately someone asked with suspicion.
"Of course, I can't help everyone change it, I will only help the Chinese people who believe in me and are willing to come to me to exchange for yuan! But everyone knows how dangerous the depreciation of the ruble is! Now people all over Russia want to exchange the ruble in their hands for foreign currency, and the only people I can help are our own Huaxia people!" Jia Lei said this, glanced at the audience, and immediately some people bowed their heads weakly.
"So you can only help yourself for rubles, not for the Eros. If I find out that any of you are taking this opportunity to make money from it, then next time you don't want to change a check from me!"
"We can understand this condition!" the others nodded.
After all, there are so many rubles in country E. No matter how rich Jia Lei is, it is impossible to exchange it all!
"You can't do us a favor in vain, can you?" asked a Chinese man.
"Of course I won't help in vain, you have to pay about 15% of the handling fee when you go to the black market to exchange dollars, and as a Chinese compatriot, I only charge 10%. Don't think that this is a lot of money, the ruble is depreciating so fast, and this money is not enough for me to make up the difference in the exchange rate!" Jia Lei said.
"You're right, it's really not a lot of money! The ruble depreciates by more than 10 percent every month. The others nodded their heads.
"Another thing you remember, the total amount of funds in my hands is limited, and it is impossible to supply you in unlimited quantities like a bank! Therefore, each of you can only exchange rubles with me twice a month, and each time it cannot exceed 50,000 yuan! Of course, you can also give me the US dollars to exchange for RMB checks, and I only charge a 1% handling fee for this business. Jia Lei said.
"We see! let us think about it, after all, most of us don't know about you!" said with a triangular eyeball, and it was only then that the others reacted from a great surprise.
The others were also very happy when they heard that they could get back the money they lost, but everyone was still a little skeptical of Jia Lei's strength!
"I have a Blackstone bank in Moscow, where you can go and change checks. Of course, you are also welcome to deposit your money in my bank, and I will not give you interest like other e-Roth banks. Jia Lei said.
"Alright, that's the business, you guys take the check and disperse, I don't want you unrelated people to stay and disturb Sister Mary's rest. Jia Lei said.
"Okay!" The others came over to get checks from Jia Lei and left in turn, only a few of Ma Li's good friends stayed.

"Jia Lei, do you really want to do a ruble exchange business?
"Although the depreciation of the ruble exchange rate is large, in fact, the depreciation of the purchasing power of the ruble in country E is not so great! After I get these rubles, as long as I spend them as soon as possible, there is no problem. Jia Lei pressed his temples and said.
He has a headache!
"How are you going to spend such a large sum of money?" asked Xia Fatzi worriedly.
"Buy something! As long as the people of country E are willing to sell anything, I will buy it. I would find people to buy timber, steel, fertilizer, and other materials near the border for many years, and large-scale transactions like this are signed in advance, which can help me avoid losses caused by exchange rate fluctuations. Jia Lei said helplessly.
Of course, Jia Lei still has a killer feature!
"If the ruble exchange rate fluctuates too much, I will temporarily close the bank. Anyway, I don't open a serious bank, so I can close and rest whenever I want. I'll wait until the ruble exchange rate has temporarily stabilized in one area, so that I can avoid the biggest risks!" Jia Lei said.
"Hey, you just have a spectrum in your heart!" Hong Chen nodded and said.
"Let's not talk about it, let's talk about Ma Li first!" Jia Lei said.
"What's there to talk about Mary?" asked Fat Xia.
"I suspect that there is a mole in this matter, I want to inquire with Ma Li's friends about the situation at that time!" Jia Lei said with a frown.
"Why do you suspect that there is a mole in this matter?" asked Hong Chen.
"Ordinary robbers will search their bodies when they rob, but I found that Ma Li not only had the deposit slip on her body, but also the gold earrings on her ears, and only the gold necklace was taken away. I heard from someone who was there at the time that the masked men were obviously coming for the dollars that Ma Li had just exchanged!" Mr. Jia said.
"What you said makes sense, you should ask the people who were present that day!" Hong Chen nodded and said.

"Hong Xia, I called you here today because I want to ask you something, can you tell me carefully what happened on the day of Ma Li's accident?" Jia Lei asked.
"Okay! I remember the day when Sister Ma Li came to find Xia Fatzi and wanted him to help intercede with you, and it happened that the goods brought by me and my brother were sold out, so I went back with her. As soon as we returned to Sister Ma Li's rental house, there was a phone call to find Sister Ma Li. The person who refused to call said that he could help Sister Ma Li exchange dollars, and I also had 10,000 US dollars worth of rubles in my hand at the time, so I wanted to go with her......" Hong Xia carefully recalled the details of the day.
Jia Lei listened very carefully, and asked Hong Xia some details from time to time.
"How many people did you go there that day, and who are they?" asked Jia Lei.
"We went there that day, and all five of them were men, except for me and Sister Ma Li. Hong Xia recalled.
"Then do you bring weapons?" Jia Lei asked again.
Since Shen Ning and their last accident, the Huaxia people have carried weapons when they went out with cash, and several people acted in groups. Hong Xia recalled that even Hong Xia carried a dagger in her arms.
"Where did you go to exchange dollars? Near Arbat Avenue, where we Chinese people often exchange dollars, there is no bridge that is too remote, and those people dare not rob and kill people in the downtown area!" Jia Lei asked again.
"This time, we went to an abandoned factory in the suburbs to do business, and the other party said that it was not safe to carry a large amount of cash in the city, so we wanted to find a hidden place. Hong Xia recalled.
"Jia Lei, do the questions you asked have anything to do with Ma Li's case?" Hong Chen asked with a frown.
"Maybe it has something to do with it?" Jia Lei thought about it and said.
"But the person who exchanged dollars was introduced by a friend of Sister Ma Li, who often helped Chinese people exchange dollars, and had a good reputation. It was a group of authentic people from China E who robbed us, and that group of robbers and the exchange of dollars were not a group of people!" Hong Xia quickly explained.
"That's it, I've also heard of those people who exchange dollars, they and the Huaxia people have never been faked for real dollars!
"Since you've all said that the group is fine, I won't ask. Now let's talk about that group of robbers, Hong Xia, can you describe to me how many people there are in that group of robbers, and what do they all look like?" Jia Lei asked again.
"Those robbers are all foreigners, they all cover their faces, and I can't see their faces clearly. But I remember there were eight of them, all with knives, and two pistols!" Hong Xia recalled.
"Hey, there are more people on the other side than you, it's not easy for you to come back alive, and I don't know how many people died that day?" Jia Lei sighed and asked.
"We were the only one who died that day, and that group of people came running for the money in Sister Hong Xia's bag? So after the accident, when everyone ran away, most of them came to chase me and Sister Hong Xia. The others were also injured, but none of them were life-threatening. Hong Xia said.
