Chapter 93
Chapter 91: (Third More)
When I got to the car, the young man took out all the five hundred crumpled coins.
I don’t need to ask any questions.
“My five counterfeit bills were paid by my last boss. I saved them for a long time before I found out that they were fake. I was very angry at the time, so I did something bad for a while, I know I did something wrong, so I want to apologize to the old man and return the money to him.”
Zuo Yuan was originally preaching, but he was immediately blocked by these words.
Tang Nian couldn’t hold back his temper. Seeing Zuo Yuan didn’t speak, he directly said, “What are you talking about now? Why did you go earlier? , you went to find an old man to cheat.”
Tang Nian’s blue veins jumped, “Did you know that the old man almost committed suicide because of this money? You can still play games in the Internet cafe, it’s warm.”
“Do you know where the old man was when we found him? He was sleeping on a cardboard shell under the overpass! Just because you lied to the five hundred dollars for him and his wife for almost a year living expenses!”
“He wanted to relieve his son’s burden before he went to sell vegetables! It took him a long time to save the five hundred yuan! You…”
Tang Nian couldn’t go on, and finally punched the cushion and turned his head away.
“His son doesn’t want anything else, he wants an apology from you. Your money is better. I’ll take you to the old man when it’s dawn.”
The young man sat in the back seat and nodded heavily. Shen Qiu saw that he was holding the money tightly, and his fingertips turned white.
Sighed and shook his head.
This guy may not be a bad person, maybe he really did something bad in one thought.
But no matter if he was thinking about it or planning it, if he did it wrong, he did it wrong.
If the old man didn’t figure it out by himself, then…
Shen Qiu shook her feathers and stopped thinking about it.
When he returned to the police station, he first made a note for someone, and learned that the person who gave the counterfeit money was the owner of a barber shop on South Street.
“Is there anyone around when I give you money?”
The young man’s name was Zhou Wei, he shook his head, “He called me into the room alone to issue them. I asked others, and they only gave me fake bills.”
Zuo Yuan asked again, from Zhou Wei’s narrative.
He worked as an apprentice in that barbershop for two months, and agreed in advance that he would be paid 500 a month. But two months have passed, not only did the boss not give a point, but the boss also used various reasons to delay.
Zhou Wei threatened to call the police to smear the reputation of his store, and the boss gave the money.
But I didn’t expect that half of the thousand are fake.
From his account, the boss gave him counterfeit money mixed with real money because of his threats.
However, we need to investigate further.
At dawn, Zuo Yuan counted the time and brought Zhou Wei to the door.
It just so happens that the old man’s family is there.
The old man is cleaning the vegetables in the foam box in the yard.
The foam box almost filled the entire small yard, and in the corner of the yard there were cartons of mineral water bottles picked up from outside.
The stool by the wall is reluctant to throw even if a leg is broken.
This is a typical Jiangshi style old house.
Bungalows, every household has a small courtyard similar to a patio, there is no toilet and no kitchen, and the toilet needs to go to the public toilet at the back.
You can cook rice by plugging in the induction cooker anywhere.
This is a very poor family at first sight.
Although he was poor, he was well cleaned up by the old man. The foam boxes for growing vegetables were neatly placed on the other side. .
Seeing the police, the old man wiped the water off his hands and came over to thank him.
“Thanks to you for finding me last night, otherwise my old life would be in danger.”
Not waiting for Zuo Yuan to speak, Shen Qiu fluttered his wings beside him, and emphasized in his comedic electronic voice, “No thanks, no thanks~ Serving the people is the mission of our police! ”
Zuo Yuan shut up and glanced at the big parrot.
The old man was in a low mood yesterday, and it was late, so he didn’t pay much attention to the parrot. Seeing that the parrot can speak well, he suddenly laughed.
“This parrot speaks so neatly and has beautiful feathers.”
The big parrot raised its chest proudly, “That’s it! Who made me a police bird! It’s better than other parrots!”
Seeing that the old man was amused by the parrot, the man heaved a sigh of relief and asked the police.
“Comrade Police is here today…”
Tang Nian pushed Zhou Wei up.
“This is Zhou Wei, the young man who cheated the old man for money two days ago. He came here to apologize to the old man.”
Zhou Wei froze, then lowered his head and took out the 500 yuan change, handed it over with both hands, and bowed to the old man.
“I’m sorry grandpa! I was fooled by lard and lied to you! I’m really sorry!”
“I’ve never used your money, it’s all here, you order.”
The man was a little angry, and whispered beside him, “It’s useless and I won’t come back! Do you know that my father was almost killed by you!”
Zhou Wei lowered his head lower, “I don’t defend myself, I did it wrong, so from now on, you can come to me with anything in your family! I can help! Those who are busy must help!”
The man is not a strong character, so he was speechless.
The old man didn’t say a word, took the money from Zhou Wei’s hand, ten yuan and twenty yuan, and five yuan and one piece of crumpled change.
The old man sorted out the crumpled coins, held them tightly for a long time, and then took out twenty pieces and stuffed them into Zhou Wei’s hands.
“I think you are a well-behaved child, don’t look at my age, but I think people are accurate. I know you must be in trouble, otherwise you wouldn’t do such a thing.”
“My family is not in good condition, and there are not many. These twenty yuan may not help you, but it will give you a full meal in difficult times.”
Zhou Wei raised his head sharply, looked at the old man in shock, then bowed heavily to the old man, put the money into the old man’s hand, turned around and ran.
Tang Nian didn’t react for a while.
Shen Qiu hurriedly followed, Zhou Wei didn’t run far, he ran out of the alley and braced his knees and began to gasp.
About a few seconds, he raised his hand and gave himself a slap in the face.
“I’m such a beast!”
Shen Qiu was very surprised. Seeing that Zhou Wei was about to hit himself, he hurriedly stepped on his head.
“What’s the matter with you beating yourself up here? If you really want to blame yourself, then take action.”
Zhou Wei almost slapped the thing above his head, when he heard Shen Qiu’s voice, he was stunned and nodded quickly.
“You’re right.”
Shen Qiu looked at the top of his head, Zhou Wei gave him the feeling that he was not a bad boy, Shen Qiu was a little curious.
“What are you saving your money for?”
Shen Qiu felt Zhou Wei’s body paused, and quickly said in a casual tone, “Registration fee.”
Registration fee? Shen Qiu was a little surprised.
“Registration fee for reading?”
“Cook School.”
“Then your parents are not responsible?”
When Shen Qiu asked this sentence, she felt that Zhou Wei’s voice was a little colder.
“No parents.”
Listening to the coldness in his tone, Shen Qiu felt that it was impossible for him to have no parents, and there should be some conflict with the family.
So after Zuo Yuan and the others came out, they whispered about Zhou Wei’s situation next week.
Because the counterfeit money was still being investigated, Zhou Wei went back to the office with them.
After going back, Zuo Yuan first checked Zhou Wei’s family situation and found that his parents had criminal records.
Father Zhou Mou was sentenced to life for drug trafficking, and mother Xing Mou is currently in the drug control center for compulsory drug control because of drug addiction.
Shen Qiu looked at the record and sighed when he thought of Zhou Wei’s mention of his parents’ coldness.
Zuo Yuan rubbed his eyebrows, “Let’s check the barber shop first. Five counterfeit banknotes are not many but not too few. How can an ordinary person get so many counterfeit banknotes.”
And this counterfeit note looks so real, at least they are hard to tell with the naked eye.
Such a real counterfeit…
The intuition of being a police officer tells them that there may be something wrong with the barber shop owner who can come up with counterfeit bills.
We were brought by Zhou Wei, and they soon went to the barber shop to find out the situation.
Seeing Zhou Wei, the boss pulled his face down, looking very unwelcome to him.
But then she saw the policeman behind her, her eyes a little flustered, and she greeted the barber in the shop.
“I suddenly remembered that I have something to go out, you guys look at the store.”
Go from behind.
“Stop!”
Zuo Yuan walked over quickly, but the boss was probably really guilty. Hearing Zuo Yuan calling him, he quickly accelerated and ran out.
Zuo Yuan rushed forward and held the person down.
The boss shouted in pain, “Comrade police, take it easy, it hurts!”
Zuo Yuanqi didn’t fight, “Then why are you running!”
The boss is very innocent, “Isn’t this you want to chase me, who sees the police chasing me?”
Shen Qiu rolled his eyes beside him, “You are not guilty, what are you running for?”
The boss glared at the parrot, “What the **** are you talking about!”
The angry Shen Qiu almost didn’t rush to talk to someone, but was stopped by Zuo Yuan, “Let’s go back to the office first.”
Bringing people back to the police station, the boss refused to admit that he gave Zhou Wei counterfeit money at first, and made the most of his shamelessness.
Until Zuo Yuan told him seriously that fingerprints could be found on the banknotes.
The boss was a little panicked, and finally cried and told the police that he bought the counterfeit money for fun. He wanted to retaliate against him because he was angry with Zhouwei and threatened him.
“Really? I bought it to play, then I ask you how much you bought back? How much is left?!”
The boss didn’t dare to speak.
Tang Nian took someone to the boss’s house to find the counterfeit banknotes hidden under the mattress, a total of 5,000. According to the boss’s own account, he had spent 5,000.
As for the purchase method, the boss gave the police a WeChat ID, and he contacted the other party through WeChat to buy counterfeit banknotes.
take over.
When Shen Qiu heard the result of this incident again, it was already two months later.
The Economic Investigation Team destroyed a counterfeit banknote den and harvested millions of counterfeit banknotes.
The boss will be sentenced to a sentence of less than three years or criminal detention because the amount of counterfeit banknotes purchased exceeds 4,000 yuan and less than 50,000 yuan, which is a relatively large amount.
A fine of not less than 10,000 yuan but not more than 100,000 yuan will be imposed.
Zhou Wei also got his 500 yuan back, but in the end he did not choose to become a chef.
The last time Shen Qiu saw Zhou Wei, he said that his dream as a child was to become a soldier, but because he failed to join a good family, his dream was broken.
Zhou Wei went to the capital.
Every month after that, he would find someone to bring money back to the old man’s family. It was 100 at first, then 500.
I don’t know if he is out of guilt for the old man, or something else.

Shen Qiu recently discovered that something was wrong with Zuo Yuan and Tang Nian.
