Chapter 21: Who is the thief?
Jiang Jiuling subconsciously suspected that it was the driver hired yesterday evening.
He knew where he lived, and he knew that the goods he would pull tomorrow would be a pig.
Ordinary pigs weighing hundreds of pounds can be used with a three-wheeled car, and no matter how bad a board car is, it will work.
The cost of hiring a car of more than 100 yuan is enough to offset the price of a live pig weighing 200 catties, and there is no reason to hire a truck.
If you have an address, you can guess that it's not an ordinary pig, so this driver is very suspicious now.
"Truck driver?" Zhang Ying's senior brother looked a little puzzled, and he said strangely: "It stands to reason that this kind of person who relies on trucks to run freight to earn a living will not go and smash his job for a few thousand yuan." ”
"I'm weird too. ”
Jiang Jiuling agreed with his analysis, "It seems that this truck driver is very suspicious, but I made an appointment with him to meet outside Lion Alley at half past eight in the morning." ”
And I only told him the address of Lion Lane, not to which household. ”
"I wonder if he's very simple, just wait until half past eight to see if he's coming. Zhang Ying glanced at the electronic watch on his wrist, and then clapped his hands, "There are still more than twenty minutes to half past eight, if that driver dares to come over to the appointment, he can basically rule out his suspicion." ”
"If you give up a list of more than 100 quick money, it means that he has a ghost in his heart. ”
......
At 8:20, the Yuejin truck that was agreed upon yesterday couldn't wait to drive to the mouth of Lion Alley.
Seeing Jiang Jiuling walking towards this side with a man and a woman, the driver hurriedly waved here, "Here, here." ”
The driver's suspicion was quickly ruled out, unless his acting skills were good enough to go to Xiangjiang to be an actor.
After paying twenty yuan to send the driver away, Jiang Jiuling thought about it, and there was only one last possibility.
During the day, at Nongjin Station, someone was eyeing him.
Maybe there is some prejudice in judging people by their appearance, but when he was at Nongjin Station, Jiang Jiuling looked at those second-class dealers horizontally and vertically, and they didn't look like good people.
After expelling the nearby neighbors who committed the crime and the truck driver, there was only one suspicious clue left on the side of Nongjin Station.
Jiang Jiuling suggested, "Why don't we call the police?"
"Do you not believe me, or do you think that I don't have the ability to find out the thief?" As soon as she heard that she was going to call the police, Zhang Ying, who had just let go of the words that it was impossible to recruit thieves in Lion Lane yesterday, suddenly couldn't hold her face, and there was some unhappiness in her clear eyes, "I was kind enough to help you, but you didn't appreciate it?"
Zhang Ying pretended to leave, "Senior brother, let's go, you call the police and let them come and catch the thief for you." ”
Seeing that Zhang Ying was leaving, Jiang Jiuling hurriedly stopped her.
Whoever makes him angry, Jiang Jiuling doesn't want to make Zhang Ying angry. This is not because he is afraid of Zhang Ying, who is worth his strength against the table, but after getting along for two days, Jiang Jiuling found that Zhang Ying is a very righteous friend.
is also Jiang Jiuling's only friend now.
raised the police, but he was just afraid that this matter would trouble Zhang Ying.
Even if Zhang Ying didn't say it, Jiang Jiuling also understood that in today's era when there is no monitoring all over the streets and alleys, the chances of wanting to call the police to catch those two thieves are very slim.
Most of the thieves who want to catch burglary have to wait for the thieves to overturn the boat after committing many crimes. But often by then, the thieves have already squandered all the money they had stolen.
Since Zhang Ying wants to help, let's wait and see if there is a way on her side.
If there is no movement by the evening, it is not too late for Jiang Jiuling to choose to call the police.
"I'm not afraid of delaying you and this senior brother's time. Jiang Jiuling persuaded: "How can I not trust my Sister Zhang, with Sister Zhang's shot, these two thieves will not be caught?"
Zhang Ying showed an expression that counts as you have a vision, she straightened her chest a little arrogantly, and said righteously: "Okay, this matter is on me." I said yesterday that we never recruit thieves in Lion Alley, and if we don't find them out to correct the Fa, where will I put my face?"
"If they were really targeted by the second-tier dealers at Nongjin Station, then they couldn't have been unexposed at all. When you steal a Porco Rosso and go back, you have to get rid of it. If you sell it for money, you will definitely spend it lavishly. ”
"As long as you find an acquaintance over there and ask, you will definitely be able to find some movements. ”
......
The senior brother Zhang Ying pulled over is named Han You, and he is about thirty years old this year.
He should be very open in society, because it didn't take long for the BB machine pinned to his waist to ring.
He went to the roadside store and used the public phone to call back a few times, and then turned back, "Yingzi, I have asked a friend to go to Nongjin Station to inquire, and there should be news soon." ”
"Okay, senior brother, you go and get busy with you. Zhang Ying nodded, her senior brother was a bastard when he was seventeen or eighteen, and after he got married in his twenties, he partnered with a friend to open a restaurant, which is one of the better among her senior brothers.
Seeing Han You away, Zhang Ying turned around and comforted Jiang Jiuling again.
Jiang Jiuling is her neighbor who grew up together since she was a child, and she is also her friend.
Jiang Jiuling's personality is a little shy, but he is not the kind of stuffy gourd who can't beat one or that with three sticks.
In her cognition, Jiang Jiuling is very smart, has very strong hands-on ability, and has won the city-level science and technology award, which is simply versatile.
Now that Jiang Jiuling's most valuable Porco Rosso has been stolen, seeing that the tuition and living expenses for the next semester are gone, Zhang Ying will of course help him get Porco Rosso back.
Jiang Jiuling was so depressed that he wanted to pour a basin of cold water on his body to calm down.
The theft of Porco Rosso is not just a blow to the heart.
Without those thousands of dollars, Jiang Jiuling's short-term plan would not be able to be implemented.
If you find a new school, you have to pay for the books.
To make a patented technology product, you need money to buy tools and raw materials.
Even if you repair your relationship with Concubine Zhao, you have to have money to buy gifts.
Zhang Ying obviously couldn't comfort people and kept talking there, Jiang Jiuling had to squeeze out a smile and say that he was fine.
Zhang Ying said mercilessly: "Your face is white and you still say it's okay?"
"Then I can't be expressionless, right?" Jiang Jiuling didn't know whether to cry or laugh, "Okay, I believe you can definitely help me get Porco Rosso back, I'm fine, you can go back first." ”
"Then don't hide and cry alone. ”
"Okay, if you want to cry, I'll go to you, and cry in front of you. Jiang Jiuling was amused by her serious appearance.
Coaxed Zhang Ying away, Jiang Jiuling simply locked the door and went out to eat early.
In fact, Jiang Jiuling didn't have much hope for getting Porco Rosso back. Porco Rosso is considered hard currency, and it is extremely convenient to make a move. At this time, the two thieves may have already sold it and taken the money to Hi Pi.
Breakfast is a bowl of noodle soup with a cage of meat buns.
Even if he lost a few thousand yuan, Jiang Jiuling was unwilling to make any savings in terms of food.
Food is one of his big hobbies, if there are a few thousand yuan, Jiang Jiuling will definitely go to the time-honored [Lion Building] on the street at this time to eat crab roe buns that few people are willing to eat.
This is a Yangcheng Lake crab, and the price of this thing has never been cheaper. It was rumored on the Internet that during the Republic of China, poor families could only survive by eating crabs, and if they were known by the literati and writers at that time, they would probably be angry to death.
Because the literati and writers at that time were famous for their love of eating crabs, many people wrote about crabs. Zhou Zuoren even complained in "Eating Crabs" that crabs can only be eaten by large families.
These teachers, can only pool money with a few people to occasionally open a meat shop.
There were not many banknotes in his pocket, so Jiang Jiuling could only resist the temptation of delicious food, turn around and stop a tricycle to go to the department store.
Jiang Jiuling was going to buy some gifts to visit Concubine Zhao.
Yesterday I bought chocolates and canned food, but Concubine Zhao didn't appreciate it.
When he came to the department store, looking at the dazzling array of goods from the first floor to the third floor, Jiang Jiuling felt that he had to pick a gift that could touch Concubine Zhao's weakness and make her reluctant to throw it.
Coaxing girls this kind of thing, Jiang Jiuling can't remember how many times he has done it.
There are countless ways to coax girls, but giving gifts is the fastest and most effective one he knows.
