Chapter 353: Selling Stolen Goods
The next morning, four kilometres north of Dongjiang Station, a scrap yard opened, a bespectacled half-aged man looked out to see a young man standing in the doorway, carrying a heavy woven bag on his shoulder.
The half-old man asked what was in the woven bag, and the young man said that it was scrap iron. As you walk into the store stuffed with scrap, put down the woven bag and look inside, leaving only a small long open space in the store for people to leave; On the right side of the door is a scale, and on the left is a desk with an abacus or something.
The half-old man asked the young man to put the scrap iron in the woven bag on the scale, 144 pounds. The young man pointed to the abacus on the table and said, "How much is it with this abacus?" The half-old man pressed his glasses, blew his nose on the particularly eye-catching hook nose, and then said lightly, first of all, it depends on whether you have pig iron or wrought iron in your woven bag, the price of pig iron and wrought iron is different, and the algorithm is also different.
The young man let out an "oh", and was about to ask what the price of pig iron was, and what the price of wrought iron was, but before he could speak, the half-old man asked him to pour out the scrap iron in the bag for acceptance, and poured it out on the spot, but instead of a pile of scrap iron, but a wrench with seven or eight new wrenches.
The half-old man looked at it in surprise and asked suspiciously, where did this come from? The young man replied, don't you ask where you came from, do you take it? The half-old man smiled sullenly, and immediately expressed his attitude, of course I want to accept it, but if you don't tell me where it came from, where do I dare to accept it?
The young man lowered his voice and told you that I stole it from the Dongjiang Railway Construction Area last night, and when the scrap iron is sold to you, you can calculate the price of wrought iron or pig iron, do you want it?
The half-old man didn't answer, his head bowed slightly, as if he was thinking about something. The young man went around to him again and said, Master, are you afraid that I will affect you by stealing these more than ten wrenches? Don't worry, I'll tell you again, my name is Xu Sijin, and I want to go to jail for stealing these wrenches. You can take this thing now, hide it, and give me as much money as you like.
The half-old man shook his head and said, I don't want to cause this trouble, I don't dare to ask for your things, but when the time comes, the people from the Public Security Bureau will find out, and there is a suspicion of selling stolen goods, and I will ask for a crime of selling stolen goods, I can't get out of my shell.
Xu Sijin crossed his hands on his hips, without fear, and told the master not to be afraid, and told a method, master, you can do this, I won't say what you received from me, no one knows. As soon as I went out, you reported the case, saying that you found a young man carrying a bag of wrenches and selling them to you as scrap, and you suspected that it was stolen and did not accept it, so the young man carried the bag of wrenches away again. You provided a clue, if you catch me as a villain, won't you be considered a meritorious service? Who still suspects that you took this bag of wrenches? Besides, the people from the Public Security Bureau caught me and asked me where I got the bag of wrenches I stolen. I will never confess to you who received the goods, and just say that you were thrown into the deep pool under the Dongjiang Bridge, which is a crime, and the purpose of the crime is to go to prison and want to eat a bite of prison food.
The half-old man looked at the shameless Xu Sijin with a smile on his face and felt that he had a nervous problem, so he spread his hands and said, My grandfather, you go, put the wrench that fell on the ground into the bag and carry it away, I don't want to make this merit. I'm afraid of losing my head!
Xu Sijin was helpless, so he had to pick up the dozen wrenches into the bag, but he was very concerned about the half-old man's words "I'm still afraid of losing my head", and when he picked up the woven bag with the wrench and was about to leave the store, he asked him again, is it as serious as you said? Robbers are not guilty of death, not to mention that I just suggest that you accept this thing, even if you do, once you find out, you will be caught, at most you will be convicted of selling stolen goods, so as not to lose your head! According to you, how many heads am I going to lose?
The half-old man reached out and rubbed the abacus beads on the table, making a rattling sound, as if to help the momentum. He said thoughtfully, you stole the wrench in the railway area, which is the wrench that tightens the screws of the rails, if the screws are loosened, the railway workers can't find the wrench to tighten the screws for a while, and the train will come over, it is easy to derail, the reason is that as soon as the screws are loosened, the rails will also be loose, if that's the case, there will be a big accident, that is to say, the train will overturn, and when the time comes, it is not enough to find out the reason, catch you, and kill you with a hundred heads, not to mention that you only have one head. You go, don't babble here.
Xu Sijin picked up the bag and went out, and turned around and said, you are timid, how could it be as coincidental as you said, I just stole these dozen wrenches, and the screws on those rails will be loosened immediately? I don't feel fine, and I don't believe that no one wants this good wrench to sell for scrap metal. You don't want this acquisition point, there are always other acquisition points that will want it. The half-old man looked at him and pointed his hand and rolled away, it was really a nervous disorder.
Actually, this Xu Sijin is just a little perverted, and his nerves are still normal. Carrying the bag on the street, he had been pondering the words of the half-old man, although they sounded unpleasant, but there was some truth.
If it is really like what he said, the rails are loose due to loose screws, and the train is coming here from a distance to overturn, then it is a big accident, and if you are caught, you will die, and you will definitely be killed.
But that was very unlikely, and he slowly regained his composure. Walking slowly along the side of the road to a clearing on North Street, he came up with a way to get rid of the wrenches, not necessarily to sell them as scrap, but if they were sold as scrap, the owners of other buying points would probably not want them, and would not dare to ask for them, just like the half-old man. It was rare to speak, so he poured out a dozen or eight new wrenches in the woven bag and sold them.
At this moment, he put the empty woven bag on the ground, sat on it and casually took a wrench and shouted at the pedestrians, good goods, good goods, cheap goods, a batch of factory processed products, 10 yuan a hand. When he shouted, he thought to himself: This is stealing, if the people in the Dongjiang Railway Work Area find out and report the case, and the police come out to investigate, and they run into me at once, or they will follow the police, they must have a car, so they will take their car, which is much easier than turning themselves in in person.
No, if I don't surrender myself, surrendering will reduce my guilt, I don't want to have my guilt commuted, if my guilt is commuted, my sentence will not be a few years, and I will be released again, so I don't want to! I wish I could go to prison for a few more years, even if I was in prison for life, so I wouldn't have to worry about eating and drinking.
He was smiling all over his face, thinking happily in his heart, and his mouth kept shouting, and suddenly a business came, and several people gathered around to pick up the wrench that was on the ground and looked at it, and thought it was good, and one of the men bought one without bargaining; A woman wants to bargain, saying that I can buy two, a few dollars cheaper? Xu Sijin said okay! It can only be cheaper for one dollar, and two for 18 yuan. The business is done again.
One of the old men, who looked at the wrench for a while, asked him, it seems to be used by railway workers, and the quality is very good, how did you get it?
