Chapter 45: Calling the police. Riding in a car is so boring, why don’t we play a game…
Xu Heye didn't say much and took out her cousin's gift.
"Qiaoqiao, this hairpin is for you. I picked it out specially. It's inlaid with sparkling rhinestones. Do you like it?"
"Of course I like it." Pang Qiao took the hairpin with surprise and put it directly on her head.
"Mom, Dad, Cousin, does it look good?"
"She looks good." Xu Heye looked at Pang Qiao carefully. She was a young girl, full of energy and looked good no matter how you looked at her.
"Mom and Dad, does it look good?" Pang Qiao asked her parents again.
“It looks good.”
Seeing that everyone's attention was on his sister, his cousin Pang Wei became anxious: "Cousin, cousin, don't you have my gift?"
Xu Heye laughed: "Of course. How could I miss you!"
Xu Heye took out a book from her bag and said, "Here, this is for you."
"A book." Pang Wei was a little disappointed. He took the book, opened it, and was immediately delighted. He exclaimed, "Ah, a comic book, a comic book about Journey to the West."
"Do you like it?"
"I like it, I like it." Pang Wei hugged the book and danced around a few times. "Cousin, you're so nice. I like you so much."
"Do you like me more or comic books more?" Xu Heye joked.
Pang Wei: “…”
"I like them all." He pouted. His cousin was annoying, but she just liked to tease him.
"Hehe." Xu Heye laughed twice, "Okay, I've given you all the gifts, I'm going back now."
Pang Qiao couldn't bear to leave Xu Heye: "Cousin, I'll go with you. I'll stay with you tonight, and I'll take the bus to school by myself tomorrow morning."
"Then ask your aunt and uncle."
Pang Qiao looked at her mother and called out in a long voice, "Mom~" She knew that as long as her mother agreed, her father would generally not have any objections.
Dong Xinghua rolled her eyes at her and said, "When you go to your cousin's place, you should be more diligent and help her with the work, okay?"
"I know, I know." Pang Qiao cheered and ran into the room to pack her clothes. Since she was only going to be gone for a day, she didn't need to pack a lot of clothes, so she came out soon.
Seeing this, Pang Wei also wanted to go.
"Mom, mom, I want to go with my cousin too."
Dong Xinghua gave him a big nasal slap on the back of his head, "You want to join in all the fun. If you see a dog eating shit, do you want to eat it too?"
Pang Wei: “…”
Pang Qiao: “…”
Xu Heye: “…”
Pang Qiao cried out, "Mom, do you know how to use metaphors? If you can't, then don't use metaphors. You're scolding my brother, and you're dragging my cousin and me into this as well."
Dong Xinghua: “…”
She thought about it carefully and couldn't help laughing.
The two of them left the complex and walked to the bus stop to wait for the bus. Xu Heye watched the buses coming and going, secretly wondering if they would run into those scammers on this trip.
Soon the bus they were waiting for arrived. Xu Heye and Pang Qiao got on the bus. There were not many people on the bus. Apart from the two of them, the driver, and the conductor, there was only a white-haired old man.
Xu Heye felt a sense of inexplicable loss in her heart, but then she thought, it was better not to meet him.
Is it a good thing to meet a scammer?
Over the next hour, passengers boarded the train one after another, and soon the entire carriage was full.
Just when Xu Heye thought she could get to the terminal smoothly, a middle-aged woman in her forties or fifties, wearing a gold necklace and well-dressed, came up.
The originally peaceful carriage suddenly became turbulent for unknown reasons.
A few people looked at each other, and a middle-aged man who looked to be in his thirties, with a kind face and well-dressed, suddenly said, "Since riding in the car is so boring, why don't we play a game?"
Then he took out two pens, one red and one blue.
Xu Heye and Pang Qiao looked at each other. They said nothing, but they could understand each other's thoughts.
Here they come, the scammers are really here.
The following routine is just as Xu Heye just said at Pang's house.
Wave after wave of attendants came on stage, and soon the atmosphere in the entire carriage became heated.
Some people around Xu Heye and Pang Qiao also encouraged them to participate in the game. If they bet fifty, they would get one hundred if they won, which would be enough for a month's living expenses.
The person who advised them was a middle-aged woman who looked very kind.
Xu Heye didn't know if this man was a liar, so she shook her head and said, "I don't have any money."
Pang Qiao was afraid of being exposed, so she simply pretended to be dumb and kept silent.
The woman tried to persuade them again, but they remained unmoved. So she played a round herself, and sure enough, she won a hundred yuan. Then, she sat down next to the well-dressed woman wearing a gold necklace.
She sat next to the aunt with the gold necklace, holding up the hundred-yuan bill and looking at it happily, and asked the aunt to help her check whether the money was real.
Xu Heye guessed that this seemingly kind middle-aged woman was also a liar. In fact, the scammers in this carriage suddenly became active, and their target was this aunt dressed in gold and silver.
The two of them and the other victims in the car were just carrying Karami with them. It would be best if they could cheat them, but it didn't matter if they couldn't.
When the aunt with the gold necklace helped to check the banknotes and found that the money was real, she started a heated discussion with the kind-looking middle-aged woman.
Xu Heye felt that this rich lady was probably going to be cheated.
Thinking of her aunt, Xu Heye felt that she shouldn't let these scammers get what they want.
She looked out the window. There was a police station near the next stop. Xu Heye turned around and gently shook Pang Qiao's hand. The two exchanged glances and Pang Qiao nodded.
When the bus arrived at the station, the two sisters got off together.
Xu Heye looked at the license plate number and memorized the bus number. Afraid of being exposed, the two sisters walked slowly to the side of the road while talking. They didn't run until the bus drove away and the people on the bus couldn't see them clearly. The police station was not far away, only three to five minutes' walk. They ran there and arrived in two minutes.
As soon as Xu Heye entered the police station, she shouted, "Uncle police, I'm calling the police. I encountered a group of scammers on the bus. They're trying to defraud people by guessing the color of a red or blue pen."
After telling the police the bus routes and license plate numbers, Xu Heye continued, "The bus just left, and the scammers have targeted a middle-aged woman wearing a gold necklace and dressed well, and they are now trying to lure her into taking the bait.
The next stop is still ten minutes away. If we drive over now and go faster, we might be able to catch them before they get out of the car and run away."
As soon as Xu Heye finished speaking, several policemen from the police station looked at each other. They did not ignore her words just because Xu Heye was a little girl.
An older policeman immediately said, "Xiaolu, go drive and go out on the field."
In recent days, fraud has been rampant. Although their police station did not receive any reports of the crime, police stations in other districts of Hucheng still received reports from the public.
The scam involves guessing the red and blue pens.
In addition, a police station had previously made a contribution in a marriage fraud case, and other police stations did not want to fall behind, so everyone's attitude was very positive.
Xu Heye immediately said, "Uncle police, you need to send more people. There are a lot of scammers. There's a middle-aged man who's the banker, a middle-aged woman with curly hair who looks kind, and four people who look like shills. They're wearing a flowered shirt, a leather jacket, a black T-shirt, and a blue and white plaid shirt. The second wave of people involved in the scam, some won and some lost, and there are three people who are not sure if they are shills."
The older policeman nodded and said, "Thank you, little girl. The information you provided us is very important."
