Chapter 48: The Last Vote
Between 2005 and 2011, a criminal gang composed of tigers, lynxes, and black dogs traveled to seven cities across the country, committing more than 40 crimes, involving more than 3 million yuan. Among them, there are four cases involving human lives alone, with a total of six living human lives.
Because these three people are extremely cunning, their modus operandi are varied, and their anti-reconnaissance capabilities are extremely strong, they basically change places when they commit a murder, and the police have never been able to catch them.
In the spring of 2011, the three men went to R City, Sichuan Province, to prepare for the final job of washing their hands and going their separate ways.
At that time, the tiger was already in his fifties, and he really didn't want to do this until he was old. In addition, he had too many bad habits when he was young, and his physical condition was not as good as day by day, and he couldn't resist the days when he ran away at every turn.
He had long planned to one day do some small business on his own and find a small city in the third and fourth tiers to settle down. For this goal, he has been desperately saving money for so many years, but the money is stained with blood, which he plundered by ruining other people's lives.
The bobcat is over forty years old, and he is tired of living in fear and fear all day long. He also wants to find a place to live a stable life, marry a wife, and have children. If he can, he wants to open a small teahouse, drink tea every day, play cards, and enter the life of retirement in advance.
The black dog is fourteen years old, and he is no longer the weak child who was only one meter two tall before, but he is still like when he was a child, and everything is arranged by the tiger. He didn't go to school, he didn't make friends of the same age, he didn't live a normal life, and he couldn't understand the world like a normal person. From the day he was sold to tigers by traffickers, his life had been severely twisted.
After following the tiger for so many years, he didn't learn anything else, but he was kidnapped and stolen, and he didn't fall behind. Tiger often praised him for being so gifted and born a criminal genius that he himself misunderstood something. He was not born to do these vile and dirty things, but he used his wrong intellect and went astray in life.
Two weeks after settling in R, the Bobcats quickly figured out their next goals.
This time, they chose an elderly couple in their sixties. It is understood that the old couple has a priceless antique porcelain hidden in their home, the specific origin of which is unknown, but they are looking for an opportunity to sell it recently.
The bobcat is a connoisseur of selling stolen goods, and it is perennial in the black market of all kinds, and it just so happens that the old man of the family is also involved in it, so when he asks people back and forth, the lynx learns such a reliable news. Even before the thing was in its hands, the lynx had already negotiated a price for the sale.
Because there are treasures hidden in the house, the couple is usually very careful, and at any time, they will always leave someone to watch the house. Normally, they won't open the door to strangers, so the best way to get into their home is to trick them into opening the door. Once this trick is to be used, it will be the turn of the black dog to appear.
It's just that the black dog has grown into a big child now, and it is no longer the cute appearance that made people involuntarily want to be led into the house when they stood at the door casually. Although he still looks innocent on the outside, if he doesn't prepare a reliable lie, it will inevitably make the old couple suspicious.
On the afternoon of April 12, 2011, the black dog appeared in front of the old couple's house wearing a neat school uniform, a pair of round-framed glasses with no prescription, and a schoolbag on his back. According to the reliable sources of the bobcats, at this time, the old man of their family should be playing chess in the square, and the old lady is the only one in the house, so it is easier to play.
The black dog stood in front of the door, knocked politely, and waited quietly for a response from inside. Ten seconds later, the sound of kicking and tapping in the room sounded, but the other party did not open the door, but just leaned on the door and asked vigilantly, "Who?" ”
"Hello, I am a student in the first class of the second year of the High School Affiliated to Normal University. The school gave us a social investigation assignment, can I delay you a little? ”
"Investigate what?" The old woman looked out of the door, and had no intention of opening the door.
At this time, the black dog raised the questionnaire in his hand and said: "On the question of the rapid rise in prices in recent years. My family also lives in this community, so I wanted to trouble my neighbors to help me with this task. In order to dispel the old woman's vigilance, the black dog did not forget to show a lively and bright smile after speaking.
Perhaps seeing that the black dog really didn't look like a bad boy, the old woman finally opened a small crack in the door and asked curiously, "Are there many questions?" ”
"No more, no less, just five questions, just delay you for a few minutes."
"Oh, then you just ask."
"The ......," the black dog scratched his hair in embarrassment, "can I go in and use your table?" It's a little uncomfortable to write on the wall. ”
Seeing that the old woman was standing still, with a hesitant expression on her face, the black dog suddenly dragged a long voice and said, "Please, this homework is to be recorded." If I don't get a good grade, my mom will definitely beat me again. You see that my arm is blue and purple, and she pinched it......" This coquettish thing really worked, and the old woman immediately opened the door, and said to the black dog distressedly: "Come in, child." ”
What happened in the next second was completely beyond the old woman's expectations. I saw a burly middle-aged man with a scruffy beard rushing out of the corridor and breaking into the old woman's house at lightning speed.
The cruelty that followed was much the same as in previous cases. Black Dog is in charge of controlling the hostages, and he is now strong enough to deal with an unarmed adult. The tiger is in charge of looting the family's belongings, and their target this time is of course the antique porcelain. Bobcats are on standby outside in case of emergency.
Thus, this is the sixth homicide committed by the gang of three, and the eighth life killed.
The porcelain sold for 1.5 million on the black market, which was much cheaper than it should be. But for the tigers, they earned it effortlessly anyway, and it doesn't matter if they lose some.
The two of them planned to wash their hands after sharing the stolen goods and go their separate ways. However, in the face of a relatively large amount of stolen money, the two had some differences in the last sharing of the stolen goods.
"I say Lynx brother......" said the tiger, squinting his eyes thoughtfully, looking at the stack of red bills in front of him, "the children are now grown up, and we can no longer distribute them in the same way as before." ”
"What do you mean?" Hearing this, the lynx suddenly became alert. Although he has been friends with Tiger for more than ten years, and he is usually referred to as brothers, when it comes to financial interests, he is not ambiguous at all.
"The black dog has followed us for so many years and has also helped us do a lot of dirty work, and the money in this should be shared with him."
"How do you want to divide it?"
"Do you think that's going to happen?" The tiger said to the bobcat in a consultative tone, "The two of us are divided into four, and the black dog is divided into two. ”
The lynx immediately waved his hand and objected, "Brother Tiger, don't fool me, the black dog is your son, and the money he got didn't go into your pocket in the end?" That's the equivalent of four or six points for the two of us. ”
"How can you say that, as if I would have embezzled the child's money."
The bobcat sneered and said, "The black dog is only fourteen years old this year, how can he manage so much money himself?" ”
"I can save it for him first, and keep it for him to marry his daughter-in-law later!"
"No, no, two is 300,000, I won't give so much money to a child."
"What's wrong with the child, just work hard. Or ......"
Seeing that the two adults were fighting for hundreds of thousands of yuan, the black dog pouted boringly on the side, and said impatiently: "Uncle Mao, master, don't quarrel between the two of you, it's really annoying!" ”
This statement really worked, and the two adults really didn't say anything, and looked at him without knowing why.
The black dog continued: "Master, Uncle Cat has a point, I'm still young, and I can't manage so much money by myself. You two don't fight anymore, just give me 20,000 yuan. I want to buy an Apple computer and a mobile phone, and young people nowadays like to use this. ”
Hearing the black dog say this, the lynx's face immediately blossomed with joy. The tiger's heart was a little reluctant. He thought to himself that this child usually looks like a person, how can he turn his elbow out at a critical moment. After thinking for a moment, he took the black dog's arm to the bedroom inside, and slapped the back of the black dog's head, "I said stinky boy, why are you confused at a critical time?" What is only 20,000, aren't you a cheat? ”
The black dog covered the back of his head and smiled at the tiger, "Master, that lynx is so shrewd, you can't get any results from fighting with him." Why don't we just leave him for now. ”
"What do you mean?"
"I mean ......," the black dog whispered into the tiger's ear. The tiger looked surprised, then nodded thoughtfully.
By the time the two men came out of the bedroom, the bobcat had clearly been impatient. He looked at the tiger and the black dog in turn, and asked suspiciously, "What are you two secretly discussing in the house?" ”
The black dog immediately took over the conversation, "What else can I say, of course, it is to discuss how to divide the money." ”
"What are you going to do?"
"Like I said, I only need 20,000 yuan of pocket money to buy things. The rest of the money, you two love to divide as much as you want. ”
"Oh?" The lynx raised his eyebrows and asked in disbelief, "As long as 20,000 yuan, don't you think you're at a loss?" ”
"It doesn't matter to me, does it?" The black dog shrugged his shoulders indifferently, "Anyway, before the age of eighteen, the master kept the money for me, and I couldn't get it." As he spoke, he glanced at the tiger stolenly, and the latter's expression looked a little embarrassed. But being a human being is not just about immediate interests. I'm still young, and I still have a long way to go, and I may have a time to find Uncle Cat in the future. I don't want to ruin our friendship for so many years because of a moment of greed. ”
Bobcat didn't expect the black dog to say such a thing, and glanced at the tiger in wonder, "Brother Tiger, you didn't teach him this, did you?" ”
"Of course not." The black dog still didn't give the tiger a chance to interject, and explained to himself, "I've been working with Uncle Cat for so many years, and I know Uncle Cat's ability in some aspects. You two old-timers are planning to wash your hands and retire, but I don't plan to stop there. If I need to use Uncle Mao's connections and resources in the future, and we fall out today because of this little money in front of us, won't things become difficult in the future? ”
The black dog's words were very reasonable, and the lynx laughed when he heard this, and had to praise the black dog for being a far-sighted child. After living together for so many years, he actually likes black dogs, and even treats them as half a son. He is not a very stingy person, and he is still willing to give in for tens of thousands of dollars.
Thinking about it, the lynx took out five stacks of stuffed bills from the pile of red bills and gave them to the black dog, and said with a smile: "Take it, child, you can buy whatever you want for these 50,000 yuan." Come to me if you need anything in the future. As long as Uncle can do it, he will definitely try his best to help you. ”
