Chapter 320: The World of Thieves
Chapter 320: The World of Thieves
The Magic City, the second largest city in the Celestial Empire, has a permanent population of 25 million and the largest GDP among the cities of the Celestial Empire. The world's largest container throughput, one of the world's financial and trade centers, has always been crowned the "Paris of the East". When the people of the imperial capital still wore braids and mud legs to pull the cart, the people of the magic capital had already put on cheongsam suits and enjoyed the social life of drunken gold fans.
After the reform and opening up, the changes in the magic capital are calculated in days, modern high-rise buildings have risen from the ground, foreign-funded enterprises have been continuously injected, and the establishment of the free trade zone has become a business card of the Celestial Empire and a model for the development of other cities.
Shen Ming has been back to China for a while, but he has never been to this charming city, and when he gets off the plane, he will understand what an international metropolis is when he walks through the airport with many blue-eyed, blonde and white-skinned foreigners to collect his luggage.
The old man who was looking for gold and silver obviously went in and out of the airport a lot, and he was very familiar with everything here, and some security personnel would even greet him politely, as if he were his own friend.
"Was that a police officer just now? Why is it that when he sees you, he sees you like he sees his own father? Shen Ming, who was carrying his luggage, stepped forward curiously.
"It's normal, I basically come to the airport once a month to volunteer to pick up, and the police station sent me so many awards that the walls are not enough to hang." Looking for gold and silver smiled.
"Stealing the saint to fight back? It's so fresh. Shen Ming didn't know what to say.
"It's normal, there are rules, there are family laws, the devil is my territory, if you want to beg for food here, as long as you worship my door and say hello, you can basically have a good meal. However, in recent years, many thieves have become unruly, and they have become unscrupulous after learning a few tricks. Obviously, I have already let go, and the passenger station of the airport and railway station can't start, but I still don't listen to it.
To deal with ordinary pickpockets, the strength of the current anti-pickpocketing brigade is enough, but some groups have turned into crimes, and even some thieves who are good at Taoism, only experts like us can single them out. "The search for gold and silver taught tirelessly.
"I don't understand, why can't you start at the airport and train station passenger terminal?" In Shen Ming's view, in this kind of place, many people will carry a lot of cash, and it is easy to have loopholes due to panic, so it should be better to start.
"What is 'thief also has a way'? That is, before reaching out, you must think twice about whether the thief can bear such a loss; Think twice about whether I am sure that I will never be discovered; Think twice, if I can still have this bite to eat in the future.
The airport is an important port for foreign guests to enter and exit the magic capital, and there will be a large number of passengers coming and going every day, and they are also our potential customers. However, if you choose to do it at the airport, because the theft of foreign guests will greatly damage the image of the government, it will inevitably increase the anti-pickpocketing efforts in the society, and the news media also like to report it in a big way, and then our living space will be compressed;
As for the railway station and passenger transport point, the family situation will not be too good if you choose to travel like this, you think about it, there are planes for those who have money to travel far away, and private cars for close travel, who wants to go to the crowded carriage carrying a big bag to go north and south?
Modern life, it is not easy for everyone, no one can embarrass the poor, even if they carry a lot of cash, it is also the hard-earned money of selling blood and life, and they are willing to take it with them and not transfer money, saving the poor people who are hundreds of yuan in transfer fees.
How can such a person steal it? Damaging to Yin and Virtue. "The search for gold and silver is a good thing.
"Daddy, you are really not ordinary, you can steal a set of your own philosophy, if you choose the right line, maybe I will change my mind and ask you to find a professor." Shen Ming didn't have half a compliment, in his opinion, the thief saint in front of him was by no means a thief in the general definition.
"After all, I have lived for almost 80 years, and I don't even have a set of my own philosophy of life, wouldn't it be in vain to go to the world?" Xun Jinyin led Shen Ming out of the airport and went straight to the parking lot, where a black Buick Regal sedan was parked in a conspicuous position.
Shen Ming noticed that he was not how good the car was, but that there was a man in a suit with eyes like ice standing there, looking at his appearance, he was in his early 30s, and his angular face was also a handsome guy, but only a hideous scar cut from the corner of his right eyebrow to his chin made his face feel like a zipper next to him, which was extremely hideous.
"Daddy, you're late." The man saw Xun Jinyin and said coldly, got up from the front of the car and walked to the back door.
"I'm sorry, I'm getting old, so I talk a lot, I'll pay attention to it next time." Looking for gold and silver, he took the initiative to apologize.
"This must be my 'brother', right?" Shen Ming is also very involved in the play.
"Well, his name is Chain, and he's the best walker I've ever seen. Don't look at him to speak coldly, but he is very well-behaved. The walker is very strict with time, and if he plans for 1 minute, he must have a minute, and more than 1 second is counted as his mistake. When he walked to the front of the car, the chain opened the door for him.
After looking for gold and silver to sit in, Shen Ming also wanted to enter, but the iron chain snapped and closed the door.
"Daddy, is my brother trying to bully me?" Shen Ming looked at the iron chain, he had already learned to make small reports.
"Newcomer, do you know the rules, now it's not 'doing things', I'm not your driver, you have to sit in the front, don't force my brother to educate you." After saying that, the chain turned around and walked to the cab.
"Copper locks, this is indeed the rule." Finding gold and silver can't help Shen Ming.
"Looks like I'll have something to learn in the future." Shen Ming reluctantly put the luggage in the trunk with a wry smile and sat in the passenger seat, when Shen Ming reached out to pull the seat belt, the chain looked at him like an alien.
"Brother, can't I be wrong again, right?" The corners of Shen Ming's mouth twitched.
"Of course it's wrong, how can a thief car wear a seat belt, we are a group of people who want to abandon the car and flee at any time, the comparison is the speed, the robbery is the time, so they are worried that the car accident will kill you, it is better to worry about being pushed to the ground by the police. In addition, since I can drive for Daddy, I won't admit defeat even if I meet Schumacher, are you worried about a fart? Iron Chain said coldly.
"Okay, okay, I'm just a little newcomer, and Brother Lao bothers to teach slowly." Shen Ming could only reach out and grab the ring.
"Daddy, where did you get this mallet back? It's a little too 'green', isn't it? The chain looked back.
"It's okay to be green, but I'm afraid that I have no talent or my heart is too dark. The copper lock man is good, and you will know if you cooperate more in the future. Xun Jinyin leaned forward and patted them on the shoulder.
With the escort of the gold and silver hunting, the iron chain will not mention it even if it has a great opinion about the copper lock, and again, this is also part of the "rules".
When the chain started the engine and drove away from the airport, Shen Ming had already become interested in this ordinary-looking Regal sedan. Originally, the engine used in this 200,000-plus low-end sedan was only 4-cylinder turbocharged. But from the sound of it, the engine has been replaced with a V12-cylinder naturally aspirated engine, with a displacement of up to 6L, a maximum horsepower of 517Ps, and a top speed of 295 kilometers per hour, which is already a supercar level.
"The car is good, the same engine as the Aston Martin is much more expensive than this car, right?" Shen Ming said with a smile.
"The shell is just a façade, and if the evacuation requires a tractor, I'll change it as fast as a Ferrari. By the way, do you know cars? The iron chain showed a good impression of Shen Ming.
"Understood."
"What type do you like to drive?"
"It's the kind of tank car with 6 sets of load wheels and diesel burning, preferably equipped with a 125mm smoothbore gun, and a few heavy machine guns." Shen Ming said with a smile.
"Sure enough, it's a big joke......" The good feeling of the chain is gone.
"Iron chain, I'm not here for a few days, how about I have a qiē at home?" Although he receives text messages from everyone every day, he still wants to hear what Yoshiko has to say.
"It should be said that it is relatively peaceful, and the departments are operating normally, but the performance of the plagiarism department has declined a lot. There was no way, after all, their heads...... 'steel bars' were thrown into the Huangpu River last week, and they were hit quite hard. Chain's tone was slightly sad when he talked about his brother's death.
"Understood, let's take a turn and take a look at our work with a copper lock." Xun Jinyin leaned back in the back seat, looking at the familiar street scene outside the window and was silent.
Out of the puff airport, the modified Regal sedan all the way to the central district of the city, although the city god temple came to the city god temple although the traffic is busy, but the iron chain still saw the stitches to find a gap to stop in, is facing the overcrowded tourist area, travelers from all over the world are crammed with this famous scenic spot, everywhere you can see the crowded heads, everywhere you can see the uncle, holding the crab roe soup bag to take pictures and brush Weibo old and young couples.
Shen Ming looked sideways, and there was obviously a group of people shuttling back and forth in this crowd of people. There are 6 of them, and they are engaged in theft activities in a rhythmic and organized manner, holding a map and pretending to ask for directions, but under the map, the lens of the tourist's SLR camera is removed, and when the young girl who gently brushes your shoulder attracts you to look sideways, the guy on the other side has already touched the watch on your wrist.
They shot quickly, without dragging their feet, covering up, receiving goods, shooting, looking for targets, and each link was closed and combined, and the stolen people were unaware of it, and they were immersed in a pleasant tourist atmosphere. What's even more terrifying is that these pickpockets don't look like pickpockets, some of them are fashionable girls, some are kind old people, and some can even talk to foreigners in at least level 6 professional English, and at the end of the day, they touch their wallets by the way.
The efficiency of that kind of large-scale poaching was so high that almost everywhere it passed was spared, like a bloodless battle, completely breaking Shen Ming's consistent idea of traditional theft. In his opinion, the thief should be a roe deer, walking quickly on the street, seeing the target sticked, running away, and threatening passers-by to shut up before being discovered.
But looking at the pickpocketing displayed by the old-timers who are looking for gold and silver now, it is simply a performance, or a sublimation of pickpocketing skills.
