Chapter 46 The rumor was caught at the police station
After watching the police car leave, Xu Heye immediately pulled Pang Qiao away.
"Cousin, why don't we stay here and watch the scammers get caught?" Pang Qiao didn't want to leave. She wanted to watch the scammers get caught! It would be a shame not to see such an interesting thing with my own eyes.
"Are you stupid?" Xu Heye rolled her eyes at her and dragged her away.
"Those scammers are organized into gangs. Did you know that those who have been caught are all the scammers? What if there are some that slip through the net? What if they find out that we were the ones who called the police and retaliate against us? Can ordinary people like us withstand the retaliation of those evil people?"
Xu Heye was able to muster up the courage to call the police, firstly due to the moral education in their country, which gave her extremely high moral standards at a young age, and secondly to avenge her aunt in her previous life.
As for the results, that is not something that ordinary people like them should worry about.
The two walked back to the bus stop and quickly hailed a new bus.
After getting on the bus and paying the ticket, the bus started moving quickly.
After about ten minutes of walking, we were about to reach the next stop when a traffic jam occurred. People on the bus started looking around, and when we asked what was going on, we realized the police were catching a scammer.
Xu Heye breathed a sigh of relief. Just in case, she lowered the curtain next to the window. What if the scammer saw them on the bus again? Wouldn't that be an admission of guilt?
They got off the bus at a bus stop where they weren't supposed to get off. There was a police station nearby, and then the police came to arrest them. Doesn't this clearly indicate that they were the ones who called the police?
Not long after, the police car drove away and the road was clear again.
After three stops, they finally arrived at their destination. After getting off the bus and walking for a while, Pang Qiao looked around before taking a deep breath.
"Cousin, this is so exciting."
Xu Heye laughed, "Let's go home."
"Hehe." After entering Xu Heye's small rental apartment, Pang Qiao was still a little confused. "Cousin, how do those scammers control the color of the pen?"
Xu Heye looked at her and asked, "Do you really want to know?"
"real!"
Xu Heye: "It's actually very simple."
Xu Heye found two pens and a piece of string, and in front of Pang Qiao, she tied a string around one of the pens. Then she tied both pens around the string, and asked, "Guess which one I tied around the string?"
"Of course it's the first one." Pang Qiao said as a matter of course.
Xu Heye chose one end of the rope and untied it. When she untied it to the end, she found that the second pen was caught.
Pang Qiao exclaimed: "How could this happen?"
Xu Heye wrapped the two pens together using the same method as before and continued to ask, "Which pen do you think I wrapped around it?"
Pang Qiao asked uncertainly, "The second one?"
Xu Heye smiled mysteriously, chose the other end and untied the rope. When she untied it to the end, she found that the first pen was caught.
Pang Qiao: "How could this happen?"
Xu Heye put down the pen and the string and said with a smile, "Now you know, right? In this game, no matter which one you choose, it's wrong. Because only the dealer, that is, me, can decide which pen will be trapped after the string is untied."
"You can only win if the dealer wants you to win. If the dealer doesn't want you to win, you can't win."
"Why?" Pang Qiao picked up the pen and rope, somewhat confused.
Xu Heye demonstrated it to her and explained, "This scam is very simple. To put it bluntly, it doesn't even require any technical skills. After the rope is wrapped around the pencil, the dealer can choose to untie the rope counterclockwise or clockwise based on the opponent's guess, thus controlling which pencil the rope is wrapped around."
Pang Qiao took the pen and rope, tried it twice, and quickly mastered the trick.
"This scam really doesn't have any tricks at all." She was a little incredulous. "Then how come so many people fell for it?"
"That's because you're outside the game and know the tactics. It's hard for someone inside to see clearly."
On the other hand, after the police took everyone on the bus back to the police station, they wanted to call Xu Heye and Pang Qiao to ask for more information, but they searched around but couldn't find them.
The civilian police officer who remained on duty at the police station said, "He left a long time ago. He left not long after you set out."
"Gone?"
"Well, let's go."
The old policeman in charge admired Xu Heye's decisiveness. "She's a smart man." It was better for her to leave, so she wouldn't be a target of repercussions. These scammers were caught one after another, and there was no telling if there were any that slipped through the net.
It's great that the little girl had the courage to report the case after discovering something was wrong. There's no need to expose them to these criminals.
After the interrogation and cross-verification of the confessions, we can still distinguish who is the criminal, who is the victim, and who is a passerby.
Xu Heye didn't know that this happened after they left. If she knew, she would only feel that she ran fast enough.
The 1980s and 1990s were the most prosperous period for China's economy, but the chaos at that time is unimaginable for those who have not experienced it.
"Call me when you get to school."
On Monday, Xu Heye got off the bus after giving Pang Qiao her instructions. The phone number she mentioned was the landline of a store near her school.
After getting off the bus, Xu Heye went straight to the canteen outside the school to wait. After waiting for about half an hour, she received a call from Pang Qiao to report that she was safe. Only then did Xu Heye feel relieved and went to school to attend classes.
But something seems strange today.
On the way to the classroom, she met several groups of classmates who were gathered together and chattering, but they immediately stopped talking after seeing her and even winked at her.
Xu Heye frowned and walked into the classroom. The talking in the classroom stopped and everyone looked at her with different expressions.
Xu Heye had a feeling that the topic these people were whispering about was related to her. She felt a little irritated, wondering what all this trouble was.
After being muttered to again, Xu Heye finally couldn't help it: "If you have something to say, just say it directly. Don't whisper secretly. You are a good middle school student, why are you acting like a wretched little villain?"
The class was silent for a moment, and then the class monitor Fang Sihe stood up and asked, "Xu Heye, did you go to the police station yesterday?"
Xu Heye nodded: "Yeah, what's wrong?"
Kong Xiaoyue tugged at the corner of Xu Heye's clothes and whispered, "Heye, someone in your class saw you coming out of the police station with a girl. They thought you had committed a crime, so you were called to the police station."
"Committing a crime?" Xu Heye was speechless. "Who said I committed a crime by going to the police station? I was brave enough to call the police."
"You?" Wang Cai shook his head and swore, "How can a money-obsessed outsider like you be so brave and righteous? Who knows what you did to get arrested by the police?"
"Whatever you say!" Xu Heye shrugged, too lazy to explain. She knew she couldn't convince these people.
Anyway, she knows what the situation is.
This group of people could only grumble a few words, which had no effect on her.
However, Xu Heye didn't expect that the news would spread further and further, and even reached the ears of her class teacher Chen Yuru, and she even believed it.
