Chapter 117: Recovering Stolen Goods (2)
I knew that the guy called at this time, he must have been full of joy, and deliberately pressed the speakerphone, as soon as he heard this, Zhang Xiaowei and I couldn't help laughing.
Then I heard Zhang Xiaowei jokingly: "No, we're going home to sleep, you can eat by yourself, aren't you imaginative?" Just imagine I'm with you. ”
Yuan Jinzhu on the other side of the phone suddenly sighed again and again, and said that if you imagine the best use, Dao Ye is now full of soy sauce on the street, and he has slept for a day during the day, haven't you slept enough? Oh, young people nowadays really are.
"It's none of your business, you can eat your barbecue and keep watch for your night." Zhang Xiaowei quipped.
"Don't, I can't sleep when I go back anyway, so I'll talk to me, squatting in this broken place every day and night, I'm bored for a long time......"
Yuan Jinzhu was still beeping, Zhang Xiaowei smiled, snatched the phone from my hand and hung up.
Returning the phone to me, after a moment of silence, she looked at me with a smile and said softly, "You guys...... That's great, thank you. ”
I smiled and shrugged my shoulders and didn't speak.
"Don't worry, I'm fine, don't worry." As if he had really let go of something, Zhang Xiaowei smiled lightly, leaned on the backrest, and his body slowly relaxed.
Early the next morning, when I came to the store, I put the things that I hadn't had time to pack up again, and after changing the locks, Xiaotian came over in advance, and when I saw the advertisements on the door and the furnishings in the store, I finally really believed in our identity.
"Sister Xiaowei, is there really a ghost in this world like in the movie?" Although he no longer has any doubts about our "profession", it is clear that he is still conflicted about whether there are ghosts or not.
Zhang Xiao smiled slightly: "Do you have a chance, take you to have a look?" It's a lot more than in the movies. ”
"You don't have to wait for the opportunity, it's all over the streets at night, as long as you dare to look at it." I'm also joking on the side.
As soon as he heard this, Xiao Tian suddenly scratched his head and laughed: "Okay, I believe it." ”
Seeing that he was much more natural and really acting like a teenager, Zhang Xiaowei and I couldn't help laughing, and after asking him to find a place to sit by himself, Zhang Xiaowei went to make lunch, while I continued to clean up the store.
After last night, I have already thought clearly, looking for Zhang Wanqing to recover the aphrodisiac water, of course, is also important, but compared to finding the mysterious old woman and the ghost keeper behind the seven evil spirits, it is nothing. Not to mention anything else, just on He Shuman's side, it is not a matter to keep guarding like this, and Yuan Jinzhu can't be consumed there every day.
So I've decided that if there is no definite news today, Zhang Wanqing's matter will have to be put aside for the time being, and let Xiaotian help me pay attention to it, there is no need to spend too much time and energy on this matter.
So after lunch, I went out with Xiaotian and inquired as he said last night.
Zhang Wanqing is a habitual thief, belonging to the kind that can take anything away as long as it is valuable, and there is no fixed goal, so there are various ways to sell stolen goods. There are recycling second-hand mobile phones, second-hand bags, and recycled gifts, as well as scrap recycling stations that collect broken copper and iron, and in the three places that Xiaotian said last night, there is a waste recycling station, a tobacco and alcohol store, and a small shop for pure recycling gifts.
The first thing we went to was the recycling station not far behind the old street, because I just knew Xiaotian, so the owner of the recycling station, the wariness of us was not very heavy, after listening to the intention, he said: Zhang Wanqing's kid, has not been here for some days, and I still have 8,000 yuan of accounts have not figured it out, with this kid's urine, will not come again, you change the shop and ask it, otherwise you simply help him settle the account?
After asking, I learned that this Zhang Wanqing had stolen a low-voltage cable more than 30 meters thick with an arm some time ago, and pulled it over at night by a small truck, which was equivalent to more than 8,000 yuan.
Because he was an old acquaintance, the owner of the recycling station did not check it carefully, and directly counted the money to Zhang Wanqing. Unexpectedly, it was discovered that only two ends of this cable were copper, and the middle section was all aluminum.
At first, the boss thought that Zhang Wanqing had also looked away, and did not blame him, until half a month later, this person did not come again, and he could not be contacted at all, so he woke up: with this Zhang Wanqing, it was clear at all, and he was completely trying to deceive him.
suffered a dumb loss, and the owner of the recycling station couldn't get a seizure, so he had to give up. Seeing that Xiaotian and I came to Zhang Wanqing, I subconsciously thought that we were in the same boat as him, so I mentioned it casually.
Naturally, it is impossible for us to wipe Zhang Wanqing's buttocks, but fortunately, the owner of the recycling station also understands the rules, but he just said it by the way, and he didn't really plan to let us pay it back, so he asked him to help pay attention to it, and then we left.
The second target point I went to was the tobacco and alcohol store located in the downtown area, which was doing legal business on the surface and secretly engaged in illegal activities of collecting dirty and selling stolen goods.
This time, Xiaotian and I were not so lucky, just said the name Zhang Wanqing, before we had time to explain our intentions, the proprietress who was wearing heavy makeup and convex and backward stared: "What Zhang Wanqing?" Which Zhang Wanqing? There's no one like this here, what the hell are you doing? If you want to buy something, you will buy it, and if you don't buy it, you will go out. ”
Seeing that the proprietress didn't recognize anyone, Xiaotian couldn't help but get a little anxious, and said with a smile: "Sister Qin, take a good look, I'm Yang Xiaotian, and Zhang Wanqing have been to you two or three times, don't be nervous, okay, we have no malicious intentions, we just want to ask you, Zhang Wanqing has never come." ”
However, Rao was like this, and the proprietress didn't have the slightest intention of recognizing him, and said without thinking: "Who are you?" I've never seen you, and I don't know who Zhang Wanqing is, can you leave? If you don't leave, I'll call the police. ”
Seeing that the proprietress had made up her mind to pretend to be stupid to the end, I gave up the idea of asking again, and pulled Xiaotian who didn't want to give up and left.
After walking out of the store, I whispered to him: "Since she knows you but pretends not to know, there are only two possibilities, either she is very defensive and does not believe you, or ...... It's Zhang Wanqing who has already come. ”
"So what to do?" Hearing that Zhang Wanqing might have come, Xiaotian hurriedly asked.
I said, "Don't worry, let's go to the third house first, and if there is no news from that house, we will come back and find a way to pry open the mouth of the proprietress ." ”
The third is a small shop specializing in recycling gifts, the location is quite partial, under the roadbed at the back door of a community, it is very inconspicuous, and you can't see it if you don't pay attention to it. The boss is a short and capable middle-aged man, and his attitude is also very friendly, he recognized him under Xiaotian's reminder, and after hearing the intention, he nodded very simply: "Zhang Wanqing did come, what are you looking for him to do at nine o'clock last night?" ”
