Chapter 038 Traces
Although they only knew the nicknames of the two scammers, the public security comrades did not give up tracking and investigating the scammers. They checked for suspicious strangers in the vicinity and contacted sister units. After several days of efforts, they finally got news about the scammers from the local branch.
The information came from the Bingcheng Branch. They found that the appearance and nickname of the scammer Captain Xu was investigating matched those of the two fugitive suspects they had been pursuing, so they took the initiative to contact Captain Xu.
According to information provided by the Bingcheng Branch, Captain Xu and his team learned that the so-called Master Wang, Wang Debiao, and Second Dezi, Wang Degang, were indeed liars, and liars with murder cases on their shoulders.
These two men were in Bingcheng before. They tricked an old man with cancer into giving him the money he had saved for his medical treatment to pay for his food and accommodation for practicing qigong, claiming that practicing qigong could cure diseases. Later, the old man died of his illness. The two brothers Wang Debiao and Wang Degang realized that something serious had happened and fled immediately.
There was no real-name system for train tickets these days, so the Bingcheng branch only found out that Wang Debiao and Wang Degang had made it to the train station and boarded the train. They didn't expect that they would come to Sijiucheng.
After learning the identity information of Wang Debiao and Wang Degang from the Bingcheng Branch, Captain Xu immediately ordered the information of these two people to be distributed to all units and streets, asking everyone to keep an eye on their whereabouts.
The security department of the machinery factory where Shi Yue worked could be considered a sister unit of the Public Security Bureau, and had also received information on Wang Debiao and Wang Degang.
Zhao Hui received the documents from Secretary Li and returned to the office. He repeated the instructions and then looked at everyone encouragingly, saying, "Everyone, pay attention to this matter. Although the scammer isn't from our factory, Secretary Li has said that if our security department can catch this scammer, the leadership will definitely not let us down. Do you understand?"
"Understood! Captain, don't worry, we will definitely take it to heart!" Everyone in the security department responded in unison.
Everyone's fighting spirit was immediately aroused, and even Shi Yue was ready to go. Just by listening to Zhao Hui's words, he felt that the leaders' move this time would be quite significant.
He raised his eyebrows, knowing a little bit what the leaders were thinking.
Because Song Chunsheng became an accomplice of human traffickers, the reputation of the machinery factory has declined seriously during this period. Even if the leaders specially commended Ma Yulan and her gang in order to save its reputation, it was useless. When people mentioned the machinery factory, their first reaction was still "Oh, the machinery factory, the one where one of its employees became a human trafficker." That's why the leaders attach so much importance to catching the scammer. If the security department can really catch the scammer, the machinery factory can wash away the negative impact brought by Song Chunsheng.
Because of this, Shi Yue wanted to catch this liar even more.
You know, the leaders have been troubled by the negative impact brought by Song Chunsheng for a long time. If he can solve this problem, the leaders will definitely not treat him unfairly. It is estimated that the reward at that time will be at least one month's salary, and even a salary increase is not impossible.
Zhao Hui saw everyone's expressions, including Shi Yue.
Looking at Shi Yue's eager expression, a smile flashed in Zhao Hui's eyes. He said that others might not be able to do it, but he was still very confident in Shi Yue.
Shi Yue has been working in the factory for less than a month, and he has already sent two people to jail. Needless to say, what kind of strength is this?
Moreover, he heard that it was Shi Yue who discovered this liar!
Look at this person’s luck. He can find a wanted fraudster just by running in the park. It’s no exaggeration to say that he is the nemesis of criminals!
Thinking of this, Zhao Hui's eyes lit up when he looked at Shi Yue. After finishing his business and preparing to let the others go, Zhao Hui shook Shi Yue's hand and said, "Shi Yue, please pay more attention to this matter. Let's try to catch this scammer as soon as possible!"
Shi Yue blinked, nodded, and said, "Brother Zhao, I know. I also want to catch the scammer as soon as possible."
He is thinking about the bonus that his leader mentioned.
Zhao Hui patted his arm and said, "I feel relieved when you say that."
Now that the criminal killer has spoken, isn't it only a matter of time before the scammer is caught?
Shi Yue was surprised when he saw Zhao Hui's trust in his heart and eyes.
Do you trust him so much?
He didn't even believe in himself that much.
Shi Yue was very confused, not knowing that he had become the nemesis of criminals in Zhao Hui's heart.
Two flowers bloom, each with its own meaning. The machinery factory over there has assigned a task to the security department, and Teacher Kobayashi of the kindergarten here has also assigned tasks to the children.
Teacher Xiaolin smiled, revealing two dimples, and said gently, "Children, do you know what festival is coming soon?"
"I know, Children's Day—" the children responded in a drawn-out voice.
Teacher Xiaolin: "Yes, it's Children's Day. June 1st is coming soon. The kindergarten will hold a party on June 1st. Each class will have a performance at the party. Children, do you have any performances you would like to do?"
She encouraged the children and said, "Parents will be invited to the party that day, so if you have any ideas, please raise your hands and tell them what you want to perform for your parents."
The children were very enthusiastic about the performance and raised their hands enthusiastically.
"Teacher, I want to perform a clay doll show!"
"No clay dolls, no clay dolls! Teacher, I want to perform Little Soldier Zhang Ga!"
"I want to perform martial arts, huha, I fight--"
"Teacher, I want to perform Snow White. I want to be a princess..."
“…”
The children started talking excitedly, saying all sorts of things, and Teacher Kobayashi couldn't get a word in. She listened quietly to everyone's opinions for a while, and only spoke after everyone had finished speaking.
"Well, that's great, kids. Your ideas are all great, but we only have one spot for a group performance, and we have to consider the presence of every child. So, we can't perform the martial arts that Xiaopang mentioned, or the Snow White that Xiaotaozi mentioned."
"Ah..." Upon hearing this, Xiaopang and Xiaotaozi lowered their heads in disappointment.
Instead, the children who performed Little Soldier Zhang Ga and the children who performed Clay Dolls looked at Teacher Kobayashi with bright eyes.
But soon, Teacher Xiaolin also disappointed them. She said, "Because the performance time is limited, we can't perform Little Soldier Zhang Ga and the Clay Doll. Children, do you have any other ideas? Preferably a song and dance performance? Like the Little Frog Song we performed last year?"
"Then let's sing the Sunflower Song!" Little Taozi quickly regained his spirits and said, raising his hand.
Just saying it wasn't enough, she started to perform, holding her little face with both hands and singing in her sweet voice, "Golden clothes on my body~ My back is straight and full of strength~"
Her babyish voice was full of energy, and Teacher Kobayashi nodded in satisfaction.
The other children also said: "Agreed, agreed! Let's perform this!"
Teacher Kobayashi thought about it and decided that the lyrics of this song were simple, so even if there were children who couldn't sing, it would be easy to learn. Moreover, the song's tone was lively and cute, making it perfect for kindergarten children to perform.
Teacher Xiaolin: "Then let's perform the Sunflower Song in Class 2!"
"Okay! Okay!"
Teacher Xiaolin: "Let's learn how to sing this song in class today. First, are there any children who don't know how to sing this song?"
The children who couldn't sing this song raised their hands obediently, and Shi Qiu Shui also raised his hand decisively.
Teacher Xiaolin nodded: "Okay, I understand. Put your hands down. Don't worry, it doesn't matter if you can't sing. Now let's learn how to sing. First, I will go..."
A 45-minute class was neither short nor long. Teacher Kobayashi briefly taught us how to sing the nursery rhyme before the bell rang.
Teacher Xiaolin: "Ah, the bell has rung, so we'll end the get out of class. Children who want to go to the toilet should go quickly, and those who need to drink water should drink water quickly. We will continue to learn how to sing this song in the next class."
coax.
As soon as Teacher Kobayashi finished speaking, the children in the class started to move around. Shi Qiu Shui didn't want to go to the toilet or drink water. She lay down on her seat and prepared to continue reading the picture book she hadn't finished before.
As soon as she opened the book, she felt a darkness in front of her eyes. "Huh?" She looked up and found that it was the fat boy in front of her who turned his head.
Xiaopang looked hesitant and asked, "Xiaoqiu, do you want to change your performance?"
Shi Qiushui shook his little head: "I don't want to."
Looking at Xiaopang who hung his head in disappointment after hearing this, she wondered, "Xiaopang, don't you want to perform the Sunflower Song?"
The little chubby boy pouted his face and said, "Well, I don't want to sing. I want to perform martial arts."
His eyes lit up: "Do you know what martial arts are? It's like Bruce Lee's, huhuhahahaha I fight--"
He gestured with his little fists and shook his body left and right.
His deskmate, Xiao Taozi, interrupted him, saying, "Come on, Xiaopang, stop trying to imitate me. You obviously don't look like Bruce Lee at all!"
Xiaopang pouted and said unhappily: "Xiao Taozi, how can you say that!"
Xiao Taozi: "I'm just telling the truth."
The words that came out of her little mouth were merciless: "Also, Xiaopang, do you know martial arts? Why don't you perform martial arts?"
Xiaopang lowered his head in frustration: "Okay, I won't..."
Xiao Taozi: "That's it, isn't it? You don't even know martial arts, so how can you perform? You should just perform the Sunflower Song honestly!"
Shi Qiushui looked at Xiaopang worriedly, afraid that he would be sad because of Xiao Taozi's words. Unexpectedly, Xiaopang was not sad at all. He clenched his fists and said with sudden enlightenment: "That's right! I should learn martial arts first!"
Shi Qiushui: ???
It seems that this guy has never thought about learning martial arts before?
Shi Qiushui was speechless, but Xiao Taozi didn't notice anything wrong. She went up to Xiaopang and asked, "Where are you going to learn martial arts? The Children's Palace? I heard there's a new martial arts class there."
Little Taozi said excitedly, "I want to learn martial arts, too. Why don't you come with me to the Children's Palace?"
Xiaopang shook his head. He held up his chubby face and said quietly, "I don't go to the martial arts class at the Children's Palace. I went there last week and the teacher said I was fat."
Shi Qiu Shui glanced at Xiaopang. This kid was indeed fat, and his arms were almost twice as strong as those of his peers. However, this was not Xiaopang's fault. He was fat not because he ate too much, but because it was inherited from his family.
Shi Qiu Shui had met Xiaopang's parents, and neither of them was thin. Even Xiaopang's grandmother had a plump figure.
However, Shi Qiushui was still a little confused. She asked, "The teacher at the Children's Palace's martial arts class won't accept you just because you're fat?"
She felt sorry for Xiaopang: "What does martial arts have to do with being fat or thin?"
Just because of this incident, the Children's Palace refused to accept Xiaopang. This is too much!
Xiaopang blushed and shook his head: "No."
He explained: "The teacher at the Children's Palace said that I was fat, so it would be more difficult for me to learn and the process would be more painful, so I, I..."
"Okay." Shi Qiu Shui understood.
It turned out that the lazy little Xiaopang heard that it was difficult and took the initiative to retreat.
She pouted and was speechless. She even wanted to speak up for Xiaopang. This lazy guy didn't deserve it!
Xiao Taozi rolled his eyes and looked down upon Xiaopang, the lazy guy.
But she was more concerned about learning martial arts. She asked, "If you don't go to the Children's Palace, where can you learn martial arts? Where else can you learn martial arts?"
Xiaopang: "I went to my grandma's house. My grandma knows a master who can teach people martial arts."
Little Taozi: "Where is your grandma's house?"
Xiaopang: "In Xizhimen."
Little Taozi twisted her hair with her fingers, thought for a moment, and asked, "Where is Xizhimen?"
Xiaopang's eyes were filled with clear and foolish words as he said, "Xizhimen is right at Xizhimen."
Little Taozi: "But I don't know where Xizhimen is."
Xiaopang: "Xizhimen is right at Xizhimen!"
Xiao Taozi: "But..."
Shi Qiushui couldn't stand the two people's tongue twisters anymore and stopped them: "The point isn't where Xizhimen is, it's the martial arts master in Xiaopang's grandmother's family."
Little Taozi reacted: "That's right!"
She looked at Xiaopang and said, "Let's continue talking about the master who can teach people martial arts!"
Xiaopang: "Ah, a master is a master. My grandma calls him the master. She says he is very good at martial arts and has many disciples!"
Xiao Taozi: "Oh, then what kind of martial arts does he practice?"
Xiaopang looked around and saw that no one else noticed their conversation, so he whispered, "The master knows a lot of martial arts. He can hit the bull from behind the mountain, he also has the iron sand palm, he also has the acupuncture point, and most importantly, he can also call the thunder."
Little Taozi exclaimed in ignorance, "Wow!" and then asked, "What is 'shooting the bull from behind the mountain'? And what does 'iron sand palm' mean? Xiaopang, I've never heard of these things you mentioned."
Little Taozi's eyes sparkled. Although she didn't know what Xiaopang meant, she felt it was very impressive.
However, Shi Qiu Shui on the side noticed something was wrong. She originally thought that the master Xiaopang was talking about was a master who practiced martial arts seriously, but the moves Xiaopang mentioned didn't seem like that?
Especially the acupuncture and lightning techniques.
Why does it sound so familiar?
Aren’t these the two special skills of the scammer she and her father met in the park a few days ago?
Shi Qiushui instantly became serious. With a stern face, she asked, "Xiaopang, have you seen that master?"
Xiaopang: "No, only my grandma has seen it. When my grandma goes out to practice, she always does it secretly. It was because I was smart enough to discover this that my grandma told me. My dad and the others don't know about it yet."
Something is wrong, something is even more wrong.
Shi Qiu Shui's alertness was at its highest level. She was completely certain that the master Xiao Pang mentioned was definitely not right.
You have to know that Xiaopang’s grandmother is over 60 years old. Would a serious martial arts master secretly teach a 60-year-old lady to practice martial arts?
Shi Qiu Shui glanced at Xiao Pang dimly and thought, this kid probably made a mistake without fully understanding what he was doing.
I think the skills that Xiaopang's grandmother practiced secretly were not martial arts, but qigong. It was just that the silly boy Xiaopang didn't understand and misunderstood.
Shi Qiushui was silent for a moment, but instead of explaining to Xiaopang, he asked, "Xiaopang, do you know the name of the master who taught your grandma how to practice martial arts?"
Xiaopang thought for a moment and nodded: "My grandma told me that his name is Master Wang."
Little Taozi interrupted: "No, no, Master Wang is not his name. Master Wang is what others call him."
Xiaopang: "Ah? But I only know he's called Master Wang, I don't know his full name..."
Shi Qiu Shui squinted his eyes and touched his chubby chin. This master also has the surname Wang?
Is it such a coincidence? The master she and her father had met in the park before was named Wang.
No, no.
Shi Qiu Shui shook her head. She felt that it couldn't be such a coincidence. She boldly guessed that perhaps the person who taught the chubby grandma to practice martial arts was the liar who escaped from the small park!
Thinking of this, Shi Qiu Shui could no longer sit still. She wanted to run to report this great discovery to her father immediately.
But unfortunately, it was only noon and it was still early for kindergarten to finish school, so she couldn't go find her father.
Shi Qiushui rubbed his face and continued to ask Xiaopang for information: "Xiaopang, do you know when and where your grandma is going to practice?"
Xiaopang said without any defense, "At night, my grandma goes out to practice qigong every night. She leaves very late and comes back in the middle of the night. If I hadn't gone to the bathroom in the middle of the night, I wouldn't have noticed it! I don't know where she practices qigong because she always goes there by herself."
ah.
Shi Qiu Shui was surprised for a moment.
If her guess was right, and the master who taught the chubby grandma martial arts was the two scammers she had met before, then these two scammers would have grown a lot after their last experience and would have known to hide from people.
Shi Qiushui: "You have never seen the master, and you don't know where he is. How can you find him to teach you martial arts?"
Xiaopang: "Ask my grandma to take me there. My grandma loves me the most. If I beg her to take me there, she will definitely take me there."
Shi Qiushui's eyes rolled around, and a plan came to mind. She said in a sweet voice, "Xiaopang, then you should bring it with you when you go~"
Xiaopang was stunned for a moment, scratched his head, and asked, "Xiaoqiu, do you want to learn martial arts too?"
Shi Qiushui blinked and nodded without any guilt of coaxing a child: "Yes, I want to practice martial arts too."
Xiaopang: "Oh, that's it."
He pursed his lips and said, "Then I'll go back and ask my grandma today. If she agrees, you can go with me tomorrow."
Shi Qiushui nodded, a sweet smile bloomed on his face, and said: "Xiaopang, thank you~"
Xiaopang rubbed his head and said, "No, you're welcome. My grandma might not agree."
Shi Qiushui said generously: "It's okay, even if your grandma doesn't agree, it doesn't matter."
The fact that Grandma Xiaopang was practicing martial arts with a master who was suspected to be a liar was a big discovery in itself. Even if Grandma Xiaopang did not agree to take Shi Qiu Shui to see the master, Shi Qiu Shui could have asked her father to go with Grandma Xiaopang to investigate.
Poor little Fatty didn't know what Shi Qiu Shui was thinking. When he saw Shi Qiu Shui's sweet smile, he just felt that this new friend was so nice and he couldn't let such a good friend down.
He clenched his fists and thought to himself, I must go back and ask grandma to agree to take Xiaoqiu to see the master!
Teacher Kobayashi did not keep the class over for the day, and the children in Class 2 left school on time. Shi Qiushui was once again the first child to rush out of the classroom with her backpack on her back. When she rushed to the door, she saw her father at a glance.
She was like a little bird returning to its nest, calling "Dad" in a baby voice while trotting into Shi Yue's arms.
Shi Yue took advantage of the situation and picked up Shi Qiushui. He weighed her and said jokingly, "Oh, girl, have you gained weight? Why do I feel like you're a little heavier?"
Shi Qiushui pouted: "Dad!"
She is not fat!
She is a good baby who insists on doing morning exercises every day. She is not like her father who eats so much and doesn't exercise. How can she gain weight!
If it were any other time, Shi Qiu Shui would have had a serious argument with her father after hearing this, but today she was still thinking about her great discovery, so she just shouted in dissatisfaction.
She ignored the words she didn't want to hear, leaned close to Shi Yue's ear, and whispered, "Dad, I think I've found the scammer's tracks!"
She told Shi Yue everything that happened today, and Shi Yue opened his eyes wide in surprise.
Shi Qiushui: "Dad, what do you think? Could it be that the master that Xiaopang's grandmother knows is the liar we know?"
Shi Yue thought about it and nodded: "It's very likely."
Shi Qiushui's eyes lit up: "Anyway, we'll know when we go and see it tomorrow!"
Speaking of this, Shi Yue rubbed his brows with a headache and asked, "Do you want to go check the situation with Xiaopang tomorrow?"
Shi Qiu Shui nodded as a matter of course.
Shi Yue frowned and said disapprovingly: "No, it's too dangerous."
He said, "What if that so-and-so master is really those two scammers? I exposed that scammer's identity and brought him trouble. He must be holding a grudge against us, father and daughter. What if he recognizes you and you go and talk to him?"
"Yeah..." Shi Qiu Shui lowered her head. Her father was right. It was very dangerous for her in the past.
But if she didn't go over, no one would be able to identify the liar.
Shi Qiushui pondered for a while, then looked up and said, "Dad, how about I go put on some makeup?"
Her crisp, baby voice said very logically, "Dad, the two of us are the best people to investigate. If I don't go, then you should go. But your features are more obvious than mine, so it's more appropriate for me to go."
She rubbed her cheeks and said, "It's very easy to put makeup on me. After all, I'm so pretty. If you just make me look a little uglier, I won't look like myself anymore."
Shi Yue: ...
She is truly worthy of being his daughter.
Even at this point, he can still be so narcissistic.
