It was late September when we went to the Provincial Procuratorate's Procuratorial Technology Department again to deliver the money, and it was the old prosecutor who called in person and said the amount on the phone. 20 thousand. Appraisal of the painting received by Ding Ying's father.

"May I ask if you are really Director Zhang?" I turned on the speakerphone and motioned to Ding Ying on the side to press the recording button of the recorder.

"Yes."

"Are you sure it's Director Zhang of the Procuratorial Technology Department of the Provincial Procuratorate?" I asked again.

"What's wrong with you? Can't hear me? The old prosecutor was stunned.

"I'm sorry, I'm afraid...... I would like to understand that the money is used for ......"

"It's for the appraiser."

"To the appraiser? Aren't you an appraiser? I said.

"How can I be an appraiser? We, the Prosecutorial Technical Division, are responsible for the appraisal, but we are not appraisers. The appraiser has to go outside and please. The old prosecutor patiently explained to me.

"Has the painting arrived at you?"

"To our prosecutor's office. Please have a good appraiser, set the date of appraisal, and we can extract it according to the procedure. ”

"Oh, but, twenty thousand, we can't make it all at once. And the six thousand from last time. Can't it be less? ”

"I said Xiao Zheng, you have always been very clever, what's wrong today?" The old prosecutor lectured me on the phone, "Is the appraiser a bargain?" I'm telling you, the price is still given for my face. ”

"This ......"

"You have to be clear that the results of the appraiser are directly related to your father-in-law's sentence. If you don't study law, you don't know that if you embezzle or accept bribes of more than 100,000 yuan, you can be sentenced to more than 10 years in prison; If it is more than 50,000 yuan, it can be sentenced to more than five years in prison. And the value of a painting fluctuates greatly. ”

"Isn't there a standard for the value of a painting?" I was amazed.

"Gee, what's the standard for this kind of thing? I'm telling you, Xiao Zheng, I'm doing something for you. Don't think I'm taking the money. It doesn't matter if you want to pay this money or not, I can't say how long your father-in-law will be. ”

"Yes, yes, of course we do," I said quickly, "and we'll get the money together as soon as we can." Scrape together the money and we'll come to you. All right? ”

"Then I'll wait for your call."

"Thank you, thank you!"

I hung up the phone. Ding Ying pressed the stop button of the recorder.

"Listen to the effect." I said with a smile.

Ding Ying pressed the PLAY button. The tape recorder came from a conversation between me and the old prosecutor. Very clear.

I pressed the stop button, "Old fox, I'll let you blackmail." ”

"Do we really want to give 20,000 yuan?"

"Give, of course. However, this is for her to keep first. ”

"Are you so sure?" Ding Ying was skeptical.

"When your father's business is done, I'm going to tell her to eat as much as she wants and spit it out. Maybe we'll be able to let her bleed a little. I pointed to the tape recorder, "It's hard proof." This is called a mountain of ironclad evidence. By the way, how much did your aunt send last time? ”

"Only fifteen thousand remitted. She said she had no money. Ding Ying said with a bitter face.

"How is that possible? Your dad has been a principal for so many years......" As soon as the words came out, I realized that I had said it wrong.

"What do you mean?" Ding Ying said.

"Slip of the tongue, slip of the tongue. I mean, your dad has worked for so many years, and there must be tens of thousands of dollars. You have to use money in the future, and you should at least ask her to send another 30,000 yuan. ”

"Thirty thousand? Wouldn't it cost her her life to ask her to send 30,000 more? Ding Ying said, "She kept complaining to me on the phone last time. said that I have been with my dad for so many years, and I have no savings on the surface. ”

"How so?"

"I still believe in Auntie's words, because my dad is a very honest principal, and his only hobby is collecting. Therefore, when I was fighting for the right to operate the Youth Book House, I suggested that you do what you like, because many people rely on what they like to have a good relationship with my father. ”

"These collectibles are priceless. You still say that your father is incorruptible? Your father is a high-ranking bribe-taker. ”

"Do you have to say it so badly?" Ding Yingshu.

"I'm sorry. It's really not easy. Collectibles are worth no less, but it's not realistic to exchange them for cash instantly. At such times, it is impossible to sell them. I scratched my head, "What can I do?" All our money together can only deal with this one time. ”

Ding Ying's excerpt was given to me a long time ago.

"I can only open my mouth to my mother. Here, ask Auntie to find a way. Ding Ying said.

Before going to the provincial prosecutor's office, I called the old prosecutor in advance so that she could break up her two subordinates.

We put the tape recorder in a big bag and wrapped it tightly in all kinds of old clothes. Ding Ying repeatedly practiced touching the recording keys of the tape recorder with her hands through her clothes. And the money is still in the inside pocket of the bag.

If it is true, there is only one veteran prosecutor in the Prosecutorial Technology Division.

Door. Close the door.

I asked Ding Ying to sit behind the door with a big bag. At a distance from the old prosecutor, the voice made by the tape recorder may not necessarily pay attention to the old prosecutor when we are talking.

Follow the procedure, dialogue, emphasize the data, emphasize "Director Zhang, you are really good", and in the end, it is natural to pay.

Paying is all about it.

In the face of naked money transactions, everything else is superfluous.

I motioned for Ding Ying to open the bag. The old prosecutor looked at Ding Ying with a smile.

I walked up to Ding Ying, took the renminbi wrapped in newspaper that Ding Ying handed over, and returned to the old prosecutor's desk.

"Count it, it's twenty-six thousand." I humbly said.

"What else is there to count?" The old prosecutor happily took the money, put it in front of her nose like a fragrant flower, and sniffed it before putting it in the backpack she was carrying. "I guessed you'd be carrying this big bag today."

"Safe," I was shocked, didn't her old man see any clues? "This time it's even bigger."

"yes, that's a good idea." The old prosecutor moved his chair, walked out, and then walked straight towards Ding Ying. There was still a smile on his face. But this smile is a stiff smile.

My heart hangs. I followed the old prosecutor.

What if the old prosecutor went to look through the big bag? Did she really see something? It may have been that she heard the sound of the tape turning during the tape recorder's recording.

Do you want to knock her out with a stick like the night attack on Jiang Shixiong?

But in the office, not to mention sticks, there are not even whips.

Ding Ying had already zipped up the bag, but she had already become a frightened bird. She just hugged the big bag tightly and watched the old prosecutor approach her.

The old prosecutor bent down, "Your bag looks pretty good." Xiao Ding, you open the zipper and let me see the situation inside. ”

"This, inside?" Ding Ying's face turned pale.

I've got to do it. If you don't make a move, you will definitely lose all your efforts!

I fell to the ground and hit my head on the old prosecutor's calf. The dynamics and position are just right.

The old prosecutor staggered and threw himself forward. In the emergency, she reached out to prop herself on the wall behind Ding Ying and stabilized herself.

I quickly got up and helped the old prosecutor up.

"Oops, sorry, I stumbled. Didn't scare you, Director Zhang? ”

"You, what's the matter?" The old prosecutor stabilized his mind, "I'm really scared by you." Luckily, I reacted quickly. ”

"Director Zhang's skills as a prosecutor are different, and ordinary people must have fallen." I say.

"Yes," Ding Ying took the opportunity to stand up and open the door, "If Director Zhang doesn't help me well, I will suffer." ”

"Huh. I originally wanted to see how the liner of the bag was, and I also wanted to buy one, and you guys got it, forget it. ”

I looked at Ding Ying. Ding Ying's face returned to normal. Oh, my God. It turned out to be this idea! Who would have thought that she would have this idea! Scare the baby to death!

"Director Zhang has a good eye for pearls. The quality of this pack is really good," I said, "especially with a large capacity." I searched the market for a long time to find it. Director Zhang likes it, I'll send one to you next time. ”

"I'm thinking about the next time I go on a trip, a business trip, and it's much more convenient to have a bag like this."

"That's that, that's." I almost "nodded my head".
