After a brief tidying up of the room, Lynch had a visitor, and his house was an old four-story building facing the street, with a small bar on the first and second floors, and ordinary residents on the third and fourth floors.

Many hotels or taverns will have rooms on the second floor for short-term rentals, three to five days, or a week, and the shortest is a day's temporary rental, more like a guesthouse or hotel.

This pattern was first discovered from those drunkards, where the tavern owner would give them a bed and then charge an extra penny, and soon most taverns began to do this, and no one would complain about taking money from drunks.

Wine is a very special thing, it can make some people unconscious to be thrown into a "high-end" room to sleep in a night and pay more, but also can make some people simple and direct, so every bar, pub, need some rooms.

This is also destined to the place where Lynch currently lives will not be too remote, uninhabited suburbs, where people come and go, whether it is day or night, there will be a lot of pedestrians passing by.

The police said that no witnesses were found, and that they might be repeat offenders, but in fact, it was impossible that there were no witnesses, whether it was other residents living on the second floor, or the bartender behind the bar on the first floor, or a few customers who were sparsely lala, it was impossible not to know anything.

But they won't say that, firstly, Lynch has no direct stake in them, and secondly, there is no need to be targeted by the Federal Tax Service because of a person who does not know or have anything to do with it, and everyone chooses to remain silent.

But this also happened to make the police misunderstand something, and then have a leeway.

As soon as he cleaned up his messy room, someone came to his door, a couple of newspaper sellers.

The cowhide bags they were carrying cross-body were bulging, and everyone looked struggling, and their faces were flushed, partly because of the heavy cowhide bag, and partly because of the excitement.

The masthead promised them that if the money was delivered, and that they remembered some of the details in the room, they would receive an additional reward of no less than fifty dollars per person this month.

This money is very important for children of their age, and after two or three years, they will start to live independently, and they must save some savings to face the society before that, and the opportunity is not easy to come by, although it is only fifty dollars.

Lynch glanced out the door before closing the door, the tavern he was in was on the side of the main road, and there was a corridor outside the door, and the road was beyond the guardrail of the corridor, and he could see most of the things outside at a glance.

There was nothing abnormal, but his heart was already active, and he had been fighting against it for many years...... experience, these children came very suspiciously.

It's true that these newsboys are trading with him these days, but the masthead will also come, but they don't enter the room, they basically stand in the corridor outside.

They gave a lot of change to these children, so naturally they had to keep an eye on them to prevent them from escaping, and they could also deter these children while protecting their property, but there was no masthead outside the corridor today.

What does this mean?

Any anomaly means that there is a deeper problem, and there are two possibilities for the header not to be there:

The first possibility is that he doesn't want to have any direct relationship with this place or with himself.

The second possibility is that he knew it was dangerous, so even though he cared about the change, he didn't show up, but he had a way to make sure that his money wouldn't go wrong.

This was a conclusion that could be reached without thinking, otherwise he would not have let these newsboys come with a large amount of change to exchange it for whole money.

Coupled with what happened to Lynch before, he already knows what is going to happen next with a high probability.

Not only was he not afraid, but there was a trace of excitement in his heart, a trace of eagerness to try!

"How much money is here?", he brought a small wooden box from the side, placed it on the cart, and asked the newsboys to pour the money into it.

The children fell over and said, "Five thousand dollars, sir." ”

"Five thousand?", Lynch laughed, his eyes glancing over the cowhide bags of several newsboys, "that's a surprising number, I thought it would be less." ”

This amount of money is too much, enough to directly convict him, which also confirms his thoughts, someone is setting up a bureau, and he is the person in the bureau.

If someone from the tax office or the investigation bureau rushes in, and he can't explain where the money came from and why it's in his room, he could face serious charges.

At that time, as long as the other party proposes a "deal", he will definitely not be able to escape from the hands of those people, and can only do what they ask, unless he wants to sit through the prison.

He nodded noncommittally, and when the wooden box was filled with five thousand yuan coins, he pushed the cart into the inner room and said hello, "I'll go to the bathroom, you guys wait for me for a while." ”

The 5,000-dollar coin is very heavy, the 5-cent coin is the lightest, with 3.7 grams, and the 50-cent coin is the heaviest, with 6.1 grams, plus the 10-cent and 25-cent coins, and the average weight of each coin is more than 4 grams.

Five thousand, one hundred ...... Thirty pounds, with more than twenty pounds of coins in each newsboy's bag, it was no wonder that their faces were a little redder than usual, and just going up to the second floor made them feel visibly struggling.

After entering the inner room, Lynch did not rush out, he dragged the box full of money into the bathroom, and found a pair of sturdy pants from the freshly washed clothes in the cart.

Tie the trousers on both sides tightly, grab a lot of coins and stuff them into the trouser tubes, and when the box is lighter, just hold it and pour it inside.

The two trouser tubes were filled with coins, and he tied them around the waist with a belt, pushing them apart into the shape of a stick, and shoved them into the leak of the rudimentary toilet in the bathroom.

When this kind of old building was built, there were no various humanized elbow designs.

Not to mention the elbows, even the parallel pipes will allow the feces upstairs to flow back directly, so its sewer design is a straight main pipe, and then there is a downward sloping pipe on each floor that is directly connected to the main pipe, and there is a one-way plate where the main pipe is connected to the septic tank.

The advantage of this design is that there will be no backflow, and the residents living on the ground floor do not need to be afraid to watch the toilet spray feces, the disadvantage is that sometimes it will make the home smell, if the exhaust fan is installed, there is no need to worry about this.

He hung a soap box on the belt head, a simple kind of wooden box that would make sure that the head would float on the water and wouldn't have to jump into the septic tank at night when he took it out.

He breathed a sigh of relief after a faint sinking sound and the sound of a wooden board rebounding against the pipe.

After a while, Lynch returned to the room with a few wads of bills, and now the newsboys were a little impatient.

Their attention was completely focused on Lynch's hand, the thick pile of bills!

He sat on the edge of the bed, grabbed a few newspapers, unfolded the bills tied in rolls with rubber bands, and handed them to the different children, "You count them first, and then I'll count them again." ”

It's his rule, and people are willing to do it, and this two-point approach creates an important channel of trust between Lynch and these traders.

The children were not happy to count, and when the first child counted a wad of ten-dollar bills in his hand, he handed the money to Lynch as he counted the numbers.

Lynch counted the sides in front of him, then put it directly into the newspaper, wrapped it in the newspaper, and then took a rubber band out of his pocket, tied the newspaper, and handed it to the child, which he had been doing.

In his original words, the most inconspicuous thing in the newsboys' leather bags was the things related to the newspaper, which would prevent them from being targeted by some people.

This statement was also accepted by the newsboys, and since then whenever the money has exceeded fifty dollars, Lynch will hand it to them in newspaper wraps, and it has become a habit for them to get used to.

Counting the money one after another, wrapping it in newspaper and tying it with a rubber band, Lynch returned to the room as soon as he saw the children off, and pulled out a large handful of bills from his pockets.

He played a little trick and withheld a lot of money that should have been given to the children.

This is actually a very simple trick, when counting money, use the ring finger to pick up a part of the banknote around the middle finger, and then at the moment of counting the money, the middle finger retracts and the palm of the hand is buckled downward, and that part of the money will be collected in the palm of the hand.

At this time, the child's attention after counting the money was focused on the pile of money that Lynch had placed in the newspaper, which made it easy for Lynch to put the hand that had held some of the money back in his pocket—he needed to get the rubber band.

Then after the newsboy and Lynch counted the money at the same time, it will be wrapped in newspaper under the gaze of the two, and tied with a rubber band, the whole process from Lynch's hands, to the money out of people's sight, about less than two seconds.

Coupled with the fact that these children were younger and Lynch was older, they didn't dare to offend Lynch's majesty and wouldn't come up with the idea of counting them all over again, so Lynch got the money back smoothly.

If they had the courage to resist, they wouldn't just be a newsboy now.

About two or three thousand yuan, he didn't count it, since the other party used this method to frame him, then he can't be blamed for finding some compensation first.

Not long after he had done everything and hid the money, the door to the room was suddenly kicked open......
