Chapter 5: She's a Suspect
Wang Xue and Wang Dong walked slowly and leisurely in front of one vegetable stall after another, like a newlywed couple, and stopped from time to time to ask how the price of today's dishes was.
And not far from behind them, Guo Mengmeng followed behind with an unhappy face, but like an angry little daughter-in-law, she didn't know what she was talking about, anyway, judging from the shape of her mouth, it would definitely not be a good word.
The focus of Wang Xue's eyes has been on the vegetables to be prepared at night, but Wang Dong's eyes have been on the flow of people who go to the morning market, which is similar to what he imagined, at this time, a large part of the people who can visit the morning market are old men and old ladies who get up early and sneak around, fashionably wearing sportswear or jackets, and others are wearing fresh and fashionable clothes, and at a glance they know that they are old people who have just returned from square dancing.
Can these old people be selling counterfeit money? In Wang Dong's judgment, it should not be, the age that can think of this method to deceive people should not be too big, and it is more trendy, easy to accept some new things, and more hobby of surfing the Internet, if these points do not meet, then the trouble will be big, it is really a passerby, and after spending a sum of money, he will never come back, this is what makes Wang Dong the most headache, even if he sees what people look like, he doesn't know where to catch it.
"How do you sell this celery?" Wang Xue's footsteps suddenly stopped, and when she saw the fresh celery on the ground, she couldn't help but ask.
Buying vegetables, I am not familiar with this kind of thing, Wang Dong stood still beside Wang Dong, his eyes still habitually swept around, not to mention, just swept like this, it really made Wang Dong sweep to a suspicious point.
A woman of about fifty years old walked from a short distance with a nervous face, her eyes kept sweeping to the vegetable stalls on both sides of the road, her right hand clenched tightly into a fist, and after walking for a long time, she finally stopped not far from Wang Dong, pointed to a cucumber seller and asked, "How do you sell cucumbers?" ”
Wang Dong was immediately attracted by this scene, and the doubts in his heart were even stronger, if he was still suspicious just now, now it is almost certain that the old lady who sells cucumbers is already old, and it seems that her eyes may not be good, and she should be the oldest in this vicinity, it is difficult to guarantee that this woman did not deliberately find him.
"Two dollars a pound." The old lady who sold cucumbers should have wanted to make this business very much, so she slowly took out a convenient bag and asked the woman, "It's cheap, do you want to have some." ”
"Give me some scales." The tension on the woman's face was even worse, and she picked two cucumbers at random with her hands that did not clench her fists and put them on the scales, the two cucumbers were just a little more than a catty, and the extra dime The old lady didn't want it directly, and it was exactly two dollars after wiping a zero.
The moment the old lady handed over the cucumber, the woman's hand finally opened into a fist, and a crumpled ten-dollar coin appeared in her hand, and as soon as she handed it forward, the other hand went to catch the bag containing the cucumber.
"Wait." Suddenly, someone on the diagonal side suddenly stretched out a hand, and grabbed the woman's hand at once.
This sudden change made both the buyer and the seller stunned for a moment, and the old lady who sold vegetables didn't understand what was going on, and wanted to ask Wang Dong to get the money back.
The grocery buyer was even more nervous, desperately pumping his hand back, and said in a panic: "There's something wrong with you, let go of me quickly." ”
Wang Dongyi stretched out his hand and took out his documents, and without saying a word, he lit up and said two words simply: "Police." ”
When she saw the shining police badge, the woman almost collapsed to the ground, her body barely maintained her standing, tears suddenly flowed, and she said without saying goodbye: "Comrade, you forgive me once, I really took this money from others." ”
In just two seconds, the number of onlookers gradually increased, Wang Dong saw that the situation was not right, and hurriedly put away the work card, and comforted him in a good voice: "Auntie, don't be like this, let's change the place, okay." ”
"It's really the first time for me, I also received fake money from others, I'm unwilling, I'm wrong, I'm wrong, please, don't arrest me, I still have sick old people waiting for me to serve at home." The woman cried with a handful of snot and tears, so that Wang Dong seemed a little unkind.
The people around him speculated, Wang Dong saw that this person had misunderstood, he didn't want to do anything to her, he just wanted to inquire about the source of this banknote, but he turned out to be like a bad policeman.
Fortunately, at this time, Wang Xue and Guo Mengmeng also ran over, helping the woman up left and right, Wang Xue comforted softly: "Auntie, you misunderstood, we don't want to hold you responsible, we just want to inquire where your counterfeit money came from, and then we can catch people and return the real money to you." ”
"Huh?" The woman was stunned for a moment, but it seemed that Wang Xue was more real and credible than Wang Dong, her mouth pouted, and she sighed: "Actually, I am also a vegetable seller, but my stall is at the other end of the market, and I don't know which villain this morning, I actually ran to me here and spent ten yuan of fake money, you said that I can only earn a few cents in the morning, and I spent so much at once, so I was confused for a while, and I wanted to spend this money, but before I spent it, I was caught by him." ”
As soon as the woman said this, the surrounding audience could hear it clearly, and after a long time, this woman was really a fake money, and at this time, people's sympathy didn't know where to go, and they began to accuse this woman.
This situation is a little too chaotic, it's better to take people away first, Wang Dong greeted him, Guo Mengmeng and Wang Xue walked towards the security booth in the middle of the market with the woman in their arms.
There were people in the sentry box, but it was not the police, but the chengguan, and when he heard that Wang Dong was going to temporarily interrogate this woman here, he said with some disapproval: "There are a lot of counterfeit coins circulating in this market in a day, and you won't get any news if you interrogate her." ”
As soon as he heard this, Wang Dong felt that something was not right, took out a cigarette from his pocket and handed it over, and asked with a smile: "Listen to my brother, there are often counterfeit money circulating in this market?" ”
The cigarette was taken, but the chengguan also realized that it seemed wrong for him to say this kind of thing to the police, so he hurriedly smiled and said: "I also heard from others, I really haven't seen it, but you ask one by one, basically there have been counterfeit money recently." ”
"When did that start?"
"Probably ......" the chengguan thought carefully, and then said with certainty: "almost a month ago." ”
