Chapter 44: Defeat in the first battle
He Erlai continued to explain: "Although I was chased half to death, and people kicked and stepped on, I was quite happy to get 200 yuan at once." So I took the money, left the alley, bought some food on the street, and rushed back to my rented little dilapidated house. When I went back, it was already dark, and it was even darker in the courtyard and in the house. As soon as I pushed open the door of the outhouse, I reached for the light rope at the door, only to come across something whirring with flesh, and I immediately let out an awkward 'ah'.
At this moment, a voice sounded, 'Dude, don't be afraid, they are all poor, borrow for a night'. I said there was nowhere to go, so I thought about exiting the house. As a result, the kid suddenly said, "Eh, buddy, have we met?" There was a 'pop' sound, and the lights in the outhouse came on. When I saw the kid's face behind the door, I realized that the guy in front of me was the guy who knocked me into a stumble today. I couldn't help but wonder how he could see me when it was so dark. The kid said he was identified by his voice, and I had scolded him half this afternoon.
The boy was self-cooked, took my things and ate them, and greeted me. I thought I was thick-skinned enough, but the boy was cheeky enough to catch up with the corners of the city walls. chatted while eating, and it turned out that the kid was 'Ge Erhai', and those people were chasing him because he owed other people's gambling debts. But I heard it as 'He Erlai', and I was so scared that I ran away for a long time, and those people mistakenly thought I was that kid.
I was chased so embarrassed, but Ge Erhai said that I was 'righteous', and said that the two had similar names, this was fate, and they had to pull me to make a fortune together. Anyway, they are all fools, and many people can take care of each other, so we decided to mix together, and I realized that he often used the identity of 'Ma Yishan'. Although they are mixed together, they are not together every day, each has its own 'life', and they are often separated for two or three weeks, and then they will exchange experiences together. That boy can get more money than I can, and often helps me, and my life is much better.
The summer before last, he said that he had a fortune project and wanted to pull me to do it. At that time, he only said that he would set up a Yishan potato company to do deep processing of related products, and said that all the funds would be provided by him and let me act as an intermediary. I heard that there was such a good thing, and I was able to show my face in front of the villagers, so I didn't think about it carefully at all, so I readily agreed. Although I used to cheat a lot, but it was hundreds of dozens, and at most it was only a thousand yuan at a time, if I knew that he was going to defraud so much money, I would never dare to participate.
During his cooperation with the village, he always used 'Ma Yishan' and never used his real name. I listened to his instructions, including planting potatoes and borrowing money, including contacting Zhu Xiaohua, and let me do whatever I wanted. During this period, he put hundreds of thousands of yuan on my card, saying that he earned it by opening a company and selling potatoes, and said that as long as he mixed with him, the money would not be spent at all. I only saw so much money on the card, and I didn't even think about where it came from, so I thought about performing well and trying to earn more. It wasn't until all the potatoes were shipped away that he told me that he wasn't going to repay the loans.
As soon as I heard it, I was anxious, so I reasoned with him. But he said that the money given to me came from those loans, and if you want to draw a line with him, you will even spit out the principal with interest; He also said that I had become his de facto accomplice, and even if I returned the money, I would have to bear legal responsibility. How can I be willing to take out the money I have? And how can you have spare money to pay interest? Even if I can't pay back the capital, I am more worried about being caught breaking the law. He also said that he would not pay it back for the time being, and that he would use the money as an investment, and when he made a lot of money in the future, he would double it back to the villagers.
knew that he was talking nonsense, but I didn't want to lose the money, so I agreed not to expose it against my will, and then hid, but according to his instructions, I asked Zhu Xiaohua for news from time to time. Later, I heard that the villagers had come to the county to petition, and all parties attached great importance to it, especially the new township chief, who chased after him very closely, and then realized the trouble. I thought about catching Ge Erhai and handing it over to the government to alleviate my guilt, but I couldn't contact him anymore, and I didn't see him at those residences.
After I was arrested, I always had a chance to think that Ge Erhai's whereabouts were secret, and as long as he was not arrested, he couldn't convict me, so he didn't confess. But now that you know about his 'cordyceps planting scam' and his real name, it's only a matter of time before he gets caught, and I can't get away with it anymore." ”
"He Erlai, you are really a 'wilting bandit', you actually pushed the whole case back for more than 20 days, do you know how much damage you have caused us? If because of your delay, Ge Erhai destroyed the evidence and money, then you are the sinner of this matter, the sinner of Shuangsheng Township, and the sinner of He Jiaying and Xiangyang Village. Xu Jianjun shouted, "Hurry up and confess, and strive for meritorious service." Where is Ge Erhai now? Where did all his money go? ”
"The last time I contacted him was two months ago, and since then, his phone has been stopped and he hasn't been called. He usually sends me money, all from a different bank, I have never seen his card, let alone how much money he has. Later, I went to his residences, but I didn't see anyone, I don't know if the house was rented, if it was his own, and if he had any other accommodation. After explaining, He Erlai talked about the detailed location of the house, "Maosheng District, Maozhong City......"
In the process of He Erlai's speech, the three people on the opposite side all held their breath, except for He Erlai's voice, it was the sound of "click" and non-stop tapping on the computer keyboard.
……
At four o'clock in the afternoon, the old foreign trade family area of Maosheng District, Maozhong City.
A black off-road vehicle with an ordinary license plate slowly drove to the last row of houses in the family area and stopped at the root of the east wall.
The rear right door opened, and a narrow-faced man got out of the car first. After looking left and right, he reached into the back seat of the car with his right hand and pulled a man with a sharp beak and cheeks out of the car. The sharp-beaked monkey-gills have their arms stretched out, a piece of clothing on their wrists, and their hands and forearms covered under the clothing.
At the same time, the co-pilot and the left rear side door also opened from the inside, and a man with a square face and a man with a Chinese character face came down.
These people are none other than Li Xiaohe, Xu Jianjun, criminal policeman Xiao Liu, and suspect He Erlai, who just arrived from Siyuan County.
Xu Jianjun quickly walked to the other side of the off-road vehicle, grabbed He Erlai's other arm, and raised his chin.
Both sides were caught by the police, and He Erlai's face was very ugly, but he still looked at it seriously, and he was about to raise his hand to signal. There was a pain in his wrist, and he couldn't help but take a cool breath, then raised his chin at the alley, nodded again, and spit out one word: "Three".
After saying the word "go", Xu Jianjun pushed forward.
He Erlai stumbled under his feet, was caught by Xu Jianjun and the young policeman, and walked towards the alley.
Li Xiaohe had already stepped forward just now, one step ahead of them, and entered the alley.
After passing the first and second houses, we arrived in front of the third house.
Xu Jianjun said softly again: "Check it well, don't make a mistake." ”
"Huh." He Erlai agreed, staring at the door number and muttering, "No. 7, Maomao Road, Maosheng District, No. 7, Row 7, That's right, this is it." ”
"Liu, go." Xu Jianjun raised his head at the narrow-faced man.
After answering "yes", the criminal policeman Xiao Liu took half a step forward, first bent down* his body, looked in with both hands through the crack of the door, and then put his ear on the door to listen. Then he straightened up, took out a wire-like thing from his waist police bag, held the lock in his left hand, and put the wire in his right hand into the keyhole.
"Bang la", "bang la", gently shake twice, and the lock opens in response.
After listening again, Xiao Liu's hands were evenly forced, the two iron doors opened to both sides, and the entire courtyard came into view.
Xiao Liu was in front, Li Xiaohe and Xu Jianjun were holding He Erlai behind, and walked into the courtyard, and Li Xiaohe gently closed the door of the house.
The yard is not big, except for two main houses, an aisle, and a utility shed, there is not much area. The courtyard is covered with asbestos tiles, and from the south room to the main house, there is hardly a bit of sky exposed. Walking in the courtyard, it looks dull and the light is dim, and the only benefit is privacy.
The door of the main house was still locked, and Xiao Liu concocted it as a method and opened it smoothly.
Pushing open the door, a cold air hits me, and there is a musty smell, it seems that it has not been occupied for a long time.
Because the asbestos tiles outside the courtyard were almost under the rafters of the main house, and the light in the house was also very dim, Xu Jianjun directly turned on the electric light.
Under the light, the facilities in front of me are very simple, a tin bucket, a rice cooker, an induction cooker, a set of gas covers, an old-fashioned bowl kitchen, two round stools, a few simple cooking spoons and spatula, spice food boxes.
There was no stop in the outhouse, and everyone went straight into the back room. The curtains were drawn in the back room, and it was much darker, so naturally the lights had to be drawn.
In the back room, there was a large old-fashioned bed, a set of peeled wardrobes, a dressing table, no television, and no other appliances.
"Let's make sure, is this the place you said you are?" Xu Jianjun turned his head to look at He Erlai.
He Erlai held his clothes, went straight to the dresser, stared at the cigarette case on it, and nodded: "It should be right, he has been smoking this kind of cigarette, Maozhong City does not have it, and he needs to buy it from outside the province." I've been here once, and the courtyard hasn't changed, but there are some things missing in the house, but these cabinets haven't changed. ”
"Then search." After Xu Jianjun finished speaking, he took out two pairs of gloves, gave Li Xiaohe a pair, and wore one for himself.
Detective Xiao Liu also put on gloves.
While looking at He Erlai, the three of them searched at the same time.
The cabinet was empty, and when I opened the cabinet door, I saw it at a glance, and there was no mezzanine when I knocked it, and then I lifted the mattress and opened the bed. I searched the inner room, and then went to the outhouse, and searched all those with doors, covers, and compartments, and the walls and ceilings were also lightly tapped many times.
After a search, the three of them looked at each other and shook their heads.
After searching three times in a row, the three of them were still empty-handed, and continued to shake their heads and look at each other.
After several hours of travel, more than an hour of searching, and more than half a day passed, not even a useful piece of paper was found, which indicated a complete defeat in the first battle.
