Chapter seventy-one, the praying mantis catches the cicada

As for Li Qiuping losing a fake, the victim has to get it back, and this situation is very likely. For example, the owner is the leader of a cultural relics counterfeiting gang, and this thing is a sample that has just been successfully trial-produced, and intends to set up a series of scams in the international black market to carry out huge fraud in the future. This time, he used Li Qiuping's identity as a legitimate antique dealer to secretly "test the waters" in the solicitation activity in Guangzhou, which promised to be confidential, and did not want any accidents, let alone the uncontrolled flow of this sample, which was inexplicably lost and must be recovered.

Lin Yin can choose to believe it or not, if she doesn't believe it, she can privately consult a trustworthy expert, such as You Fang, who can completely deduce the above possible surname. The scammer will just tell the story without explaining why, and will even say that he does not know the details, and if the deceived person goes to consult an insider, he can help them to solve the lie.

No matter how suspicious Lin Yin was, as long as she wanted to find Li Qiuping, she would contact the other party. Even if it is an old Jianghu like You Fang, if he doesn't know the inside story in advance, he is likely to enter the game from Lin Yin's point of view. "Threading the bead game" is usually to deal with the old rivers and lakes, and it is certainly more than enough to deal with people like Lin Yin.

Lin Yin, who takes finding Li Qiuping as her life goal, but she doesn't know that the murderer of the crazy fox is by her side, which is the most absurd misfortune in her life. However, from another point of view, this is also her greatest luck, only You Fang can debunk this kind of scam at a glance, no matter how clever the other party designs.

Lin Yin asked You Fang what to do, and You Fang suggested that she stabilize the other party first, promised to find a way to raise money, and asked at the same time: "How can I trust you, what if the money is given and Li Qiuping cannot be found?" ”

This is what everyone will ask, and the other party's answer is very simple, Li Qiuping is hiding in Zhuhai, you can tell Lin Yin where he is hiding first, and then give money when he finds someone. But at the same time, she warned Lin Yin that Li Qiuping did not know that her hiding place was exposed, and if she saw that Li Qiuping did not give money that day, she would immediately notify the victim, so that Li Qiuping would not have time to escape. If the money is received, the other party will not be idle, and Li Qiuping can continue to hide in Zhuhai, or he can hide in a safer place.

This kind of reply made Lin Yin unable to move, she asked You Fang with surprise and sadness at the same time: "I don't have 300,000 yuan, can I sell a house?" ”

You Fang sighed in his heart, the liar played this trick, not just to cheat money, but directly to Lin Yin, it seems that her situation has been investigated more carefully. If he had set up this bureau instead, he would have done the same for the most vicious purpose.

Give an address in Zhuhai, and say that Li Qiuping is hiding there and ask Lin Yin to find it. As long as Lin Yin arrives at the place, there is no return, and the fate of a young woman like her, who is delicate and elegant, will be particularly miserable. And as long as Lin Yin herself is controlled, the things that belong to Lin Yin, including the two houses in Guangzhou, can force her to sign the transfer, and it is difficult for a lone weak woman to resist if she falls into the clutches of the devil.

Lin Yin lives in this two-bedroom apartment, one is her bedroom, and the other is very simple and slightly like a study, with a bookshelf and a computer desk, and they discussed in this room. Tu Su was also listening beside him, blinking a pair of big sparkling eyes, looking very nervous, curious and a little worried.

The only decoration in the study is a vertical axis landscape painting hanging on the north wall, at a glance it is the style of Wang Shimin, the landscape master of the late Ming Dynasty, the brushwork is similar, the style of painting imitates very clever and can be chaotic, the title is Wang Shimin's self-named "Xilu Old Man", but the paper, the inscription, and the seal have flaws, and it should be a fake.

You Fang thought for a while and said: "You tell the other party that you don't have so much money in your hand, so you can only take out 100,000 yuan for the time being, and the rest will be offset by a painting of the old man in Xilu left by Li Qiuping, which is quite a valuable ancient painting." ”

Lin Yin frowned and said, "Which ancient painting?" ”

You Fang pointed to the north wall: "Let's use this one for the time being." ”

Lin Yin shook his head and said: "This painting was left here by Qiu Pingyuan first, and there are two other paintings in my house, Qiu Ping told me that they are all fakes, but they are of commemorative significance to him, so I have to keep them." ”

You Fang comforted: "It's okay, those people don't know, and this kind of fake is also valuable to insiders, even if it takes you to sell your house to raise money, it's safer to inquire about Li Qiuping's whereabouts as soon as possible, and stabilize the other party and don't have any more problems." Try to ask first, see if the other party agrees? ”

Lin Yin's expression was very helpless: "Even if that's the case, I don't even have 100,000 yuan." ”

You Fang replied very simply: "I have 100,000, I will lend it to you first." ”

Lin Yin was about to cry with gratitude, and said weakly: "I really don't know how to ......"

You Fang interrupted her: "Thank you, thank you, it's just a temporary loan for you, and I'm not afraid that you will run away, if you find Li Qiuping, everything will be easy." ”

At this time, Tu Su interjected: "Brother You Fang, I was still thinking just now, if Sister Lin Yin is going to sell the house, she can sell this small set and move in with us temporarily, anyway, there is still one that has not been rented out." ”

You Fang secretly said in her heart that this little girl would also think about things, but what she was thinking about was what the gang of liars envisioned. If Lin Yin really wants to sell the house, the first person to come to buy it will probably be an accomplice of the scammer, and he may even agree to lend her money first. It would have been possible to fish out the gang, but you didn't want to.

Tu Su has always been very concerned about Lin Yin's situation, and when this kind of thing happened, You Fang called the little girl to "discuss" together, the purpose is to let her experience this complex and clever scam from beginning to end, learn to analyze and think by herself, with this bowl of water at the bottom, she will be much more careful about anything in the future. Sometimes the process of being fooled is also the process of being educated and maturing.

Lin Yin didn't have any opinions, and did exactly what You Fang said. And she had already called Xie Xiaoxian, Xie Xiaoxian told her on the phone that this kind of thing is not easy to call the police, even if she reports to the police, it is all hearsay and no evidence, and the police are not easy to investigate, so what to do is all up to Youfang. You Fang was a little moved when he heard this, in some ways, Xie Xiaoxian still trusted him very much.

Lin Yin contacted the other party, all according to You Fang's meaning, the other party thought about it for a moment, and agreed very happily, just urging her to hurry up. It's not surprising to think about it, in the other party's opinion, Li Qiuping is an antique dealer, and it is completely normal to leave a valuable ancient painting. Besides, the purpose of the liar is Lin Yin himself, as long as he deceives people, do you have to worry about anything else?

On the evening of the third day, You Fang took 100,000 yuan in cash, and the painting had been taken off the wall and rolled up and placed in the painting tube, and the three of them got together to discuss it again. Tu Su frowned and expressed his worries: "Sister Lin Yin, I don't think you can go to Zhuhai like this, what if that group of people is a liar, and you will be arrested as soon as you knock on the door and be trafficked?" It's too dangerous for a beautiful woman like you, with a lot of money. ”

Trafficking? If a woman like Lin Yin falls into the hands of a criminal gang, it will be a rare plaything and a valuable treasure, and the end will be a hundred times worse than abduction. But the little girl was able to take these into account and reminded Lin Yin that You Fang was already very satisfied, and asked tentatively: "Tu Su, then according to you, what should we do?" ”

Tu Su blinked, thought for a long time and hesitated and said: "Sister Lin Yin can't go, you can divide the troops into two ways, and ask someone else to go to Zhuhai to see if Brother Qiuping is hiding there, if you see someone and there is no problem, make a phone call, Sister Lin Yin can pay in Guangzhou." ”

What the little girl said was quite reasonable, and You Fang asked rhetorically: "Then who will go to Zhuhai?" ”

The two women looked embarrassed, looked at each other and looked at You Fang and stopped. You Fang said secretly: "Okay, you Tu Su, your elbow rushed out, and you sold me?" Do you think that your brother You Fang has a lot of ability, if there is really an ambush there, the villain will not catch me, forcing me to inform Lin Yin that there is no problem? ”

Although he thought so in his heart, he said smoothly on the surface: "Leave it to me, I can find the right person to go, and there will be no problem." ”

Tu Su breathed a sigh of relief: "It's great that Brother You Fang can find someone to go, I was still worried just now that if you go, there will be an accident if you don't know the place well." …… If you go with a local friend, tell them to be careful. ”

Lin Yin asked worriedly: "In this way, will the other party agree?" ”

You Fang nodded affirmatively: "As long as your attitude is resolute, the other party will definitely agree, this is human nature." Don't worry, since you have promised to give money, and the other party has not received the money, Li Qiuping will not be in danger, if he is really in Zhuhai. ”

This kind of request is normal, and ordinary people will think of it out of prudence. And the more cautious Lin Yin is, the more serious she is, the easier it is to fall into the trap of the other party.

After the discussion, Lin Yin took out the phone to contact the other party, and You Fang whispered to her what to say, the other party seemed to be very unhappy but finally agreed, and at the same time put forward the final request-

Lin Yin can find someone to go to Zhuhai to confirm, but he can only let one person go, that person can't drive and can only walk, and immediately call Lin Yin to pay after seeing the wild fox. And Lin Yin needed to pay on the spot, and a person took cash and the ancient painting to wait in a private room in a hotel. The other party will give her an address first, and she will call someone to confirm it, and if there is no problem, she will pay.

Lin Yin was worried that the other party would not keep his word or not know Li Qiuping's whereabouts at all, and he was worried about meeting and paying money. In order to dispel her worries, the place of payment was set in a very lively hotel private room in the center of the city, where people came and went and looked very safe, and the district public security bureau was across the road from a short turn.

The other party also warned Lin Yin not to play tricks anymore, trying to find someone to inform Li Qiuping to transfer, they will keep an eye on it, and if they find something wrong, they will seal Li Qiuping's door and immediately notify the owner to send someone.

It doesn't sound like there is a flaw, but You Fang secretly scolded this gang in his heart for having a lot of tricks. Don't assume that you're completely safe in crowded situations, in fact, there are some special kidnappings that happen in plain sight. A seemingly drunk companion was pulled out of the private room of the hotel, and stuffed into the car when he went out, and no one would be suspicious of meddlesomeness. If Lin Yin really went alone, the result would be the case.

It seems that this gang has stepped on a little bit in the vicinity, and is very familiar with Lin Yin's situation, knowing that she is alone in Guangzhou and has almost no friends, she is simple and easy to be fooled, and she has no assertiveness when she encounters problems. If Lin Yin finds someone to help him go to Zhuhai, I'm afraid he can only find the young man tenant he knew before. This group of people even calculated You Fang, but unfortunately they didn't understand the details of You Fang and didn't take him seriously.

You Fang thought of this, but didn't say it at the time. Let's explain it slowly after the truth is revealed, with this series of experiences, in retrospect, it can also make these two women understand a lot of things.

Of course, You Fang will not let the scammer lead him by the nose, but he really found someone to help, and deeply realized that it is also very troublesome for a person to wander the rivers and lakes without trusting friends around him. He didn't look for Zhang Liubing, but went to the "nightclub" to find Boss Song.

Boss Song was greeting guests at the door of the hotel, and when he saw You Fang from afar, he shouted with a smile: "Little brother, what are you going to eat today?" ”

You Fang walked up to the front and whispered: "Uncle, can I ask you for a favor for one thing, it may delay you for a day." ”

Song Yang saw his solemn expression, and said in his heart: "Don't talk here, let's go to the back alley." ”

In the alley behind the hotel, You Fang and Song Yang whispered for a long time, not only telling him what happened to Lin Yin, but also discussing tomorrow's plans.

Regardless of whether the other party succeeds in deceiving this time, You Fang will not let go of this gang because he feels threatened. As the saying goes, if you are not afraid of thieves stealing, you are afraid of thieves, and that group of people has already stepped on the plate nearby to target Lin Yin, and the plan is so vicious, it is definitely a bunch of scum. He can't always be by Lin Yin's side, since the other party has already made a move, there is nothing to be polite about, Shun Teng found out the foothold of this gang, and turned around to clean it up!

……

Early the next morning, although Tu Su was very worried, she still went to class normally under the persuasion of You Fang, and You Fang specially told her not to come back at night, just squeeze in the dormitory with other classmates all night. As soon as Tu Su left, You Fang also went out, went to the Guangzhou Bus Terminal with his bag on his back, and then disappeared into the crowded crowd.

Of course, You Fang didn't really take the car to Zhuhai, and when he came out of the passenger station, his hair had turned gray, his steps were slightly staggering, he wore plastic-framed old-fashioned glasses to cover the outline of his eyes, the corners of his mouth were slightly pouted, and there were a few more age spots on his cheeks, which was clearly an old man. The shoes and pants were changed, but the shirt was not changed, but the original red reversible jacket was worn backwards, and the light gray side was changed to the outside.

Walking the rivers and lakes to perform and performing requires playing various roles, the master of the floating door naturally knows how to change his physical characteristics in a short time, and he can find a bathroom nearby with his bag on his back.

……

When it was almost five o'clock in the afternoon, Lin Yin went out, she straddled a bag with a long strap on her shoulder, her left hand was still tightly holding the mouth of the bag, and her right hand was holding a painting tube, she looked very nervous, walked out of the community and looked around for a long time, and then walked to the intersection and took a car to the designated hotel in the city center, she really went alone.

There was a bit of a traffic jam in the afternoon, and it was already half past five o'clock when I arrived at the place, and this hotel was very lively, and the guests outside were almost half full. Lin Yin walked in and looked around a little relieved, because this was not a big hotel, and the business area was only one floor. The door of the hotel faces west, and there are four private rooms on the north and south sides of the hall, and the entrance to the kitchen and the location of the toilet on the east side.

The private room is not hidden, only a door away from the outside hall, and it looks relatively safe. Lin Yin asked the waiter when he entered the door: "My surname is Lin, and the private room has been booked, is the guest here?" ”

The waiter checked the registration book on the counter: "Ms. Lin booked a private room, right?" On the first day, there are four people registered, and the guests have not yet arrived, do you order now? "The scammers booked a private room in the name of Ms. Lin, and they also left Lin Yin's contact information.

As soon as Lin Yin heard that the person had not yet arrived, he inexplicably felt a little more relaxed, and pushed the door in to see people sitting in the private room and waiting for someone to wait for him, feeling somewhat different. She nodded and said, "I'll order first, you guys will serve, I'll wait for them in the private room." ”

In order to save time and be cautious, she ordered the food first, entered the private room and closed the door, carefully inspected the tables, chairs, benches and furnishings in the room, and found nothing wrong, and then opened the door and half-hidden, and sat there anxiously waiting.

……

You Fang walked into this restaurant ten minutes before Lin Yin entered, sat on the seat by the window, ordered a very laborious soup and two side dishes, read the newspaper and waited for the waiter to deliver the soup, and settled the bill in advance. When Lin Yin walked into the hotel, he carefully observed the people around him, and his eyes swept over You Fang's face, but he didn't recognize it.

This matter, on the surface, does not seem to be a kidnapping, nor is it a ransom payment after kidnapping, but the news that Lin Yin spent money to buy Li Qiuping. The only thing that the other party is worried about is whether she is willing to give money, and Lin Yin is worried about whether the other party has real news, and the joint location is generally not exchanged like a kidnapping case, in addition to worrying about the loss of money, it seems that there is not much personal danger in this kind of place.

However, these are only superficial phenomena, if the other party really has news of Li Qiuping and wants money, he can just come to the door to bargain, and there is no need to make it so complicated. You Fang's heart is like a mirror, but Lin Yin himself doesn't know.

Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Lin Yin walking into the No. 1 private room, and You Fang suddenly felt a trace of inexplicable apology. Yes, he has been helping her, but Lin Yin has also come to this point under his intentional guidance. If it was replaced by Tu Su, would he be willing to let that little girl come like this? You Fang secretly asked himself in his heart, the answer is reluctance, because this is also a risk after all!

But he is "willing" to let Lin Yin come, different people are close and alien in everyone's minds, even if they sympathize with the former woman of the wild fox, it seems that they still have a sense of alienation from her subconsciously, and they are not regarded as people they care about very much.

At the same time, You Fang realizes that things are a bit of a coincidence, so he decides to let the woman out of this dangerous scam in advance. He put his hand in his pocket, rang the ringtone of his mobile phone, and pretended to answer the phone, but he actually dialed out a call and called Song Yang, who was about to answer.

"Xiao Yang, well, I've arrived in Guangzhou, I've already stayed, and I'm out for dinner. …… I've seen your daughter's friend, the same boy who showed her the way last time, and I'm here today. …… Yes, that's him! …… You're coming by car? Okay, then order a few more dishes, and we'll eat together. ”
