Liu Ben couldn't believe it. The convenience store in front of him had just been robbed not long ago. How could the same group of people commit a crime again at the same place? This was unrealistic, right?
But the fact is that someone is trying to pry open his shop door.
However, Liu Ben was not worried about his own store. This group of people would definitely not succeed because Liu Ben's store was equipped with an alarm.
"Beep——" Look, isn't it ringing?
Liu Ben looked out and saw that the group of people had already hurriedly ridden away on their motorcycles. Liu Ben watched them run out of the intersection, quickly used the key to start his motorcycle parked nearby, and followed them from a distance.
A guilty thief would definitely keep looking back when running away, so Liu Ben did not follow too closely and did not turn on the lights, keeping a distance where he could barely see the other person. The roads nearby had street lights, but if they saw a car in the distance behind them, they would not think that it was following them, but would just think it was passing by. After all, there were few people on the streets in the early morning, but it was not completely empty.
Liu Ben followed them for several streets and finally came to a strange and remote place. The four people in the distance stopped the car, and Liu Ben quickly turned into a remote alley, locked the car, and walked out alone.
He approached the men quickly, but stayed in the shadows so as not to be easily discovered.
The men seemed to be discussing something, their expressions somewhat annoyed, and after a few words, they all walked towards an alley. Liu Ben followed them closer and closer, and then watched them walk into a flat-roofed house.
Liu Ben looked around cautiously. There was no surveillance in this dilapidated place, so he could go there without worry. Besides, the area around the house was full of garbage that even the scrap yard wouldn't collect, so it was easy to hide.
While paying attention to the alley entrance, Liu Ben moved closer to the door, hid himself, and eavesdropped on the conversation of the people in the house.
"Why that street?! Didn't I tell you to go to the one at No. 67, 5th Street, Liufeng Plaza?!"
"Ah, Third Brother, didn't you say that Aben's agricultural products make a lot of money..."
"I was just chatting! I told you to go to that company that makes more money!"
"You said he made a lot of money, so I went..."
"You're trying to argue with me, aren't you? What did I say? I even told him that his family would bring the money and goods back home every night. You have a pig's brain!"
"Then I won't be here later, so we'll go out..."
Liu Ben listened and couldn't help but take out his mobile phone to start recording.
"You're really pissing me off! Use your brain! We just robbed a shop on that street last time. How could we let you go so quickly? And you even triggered the alarm. I'm ￥%*&@..."
"Brother, I really don't know. That's not where we went last time!"
"Get out, get out, now! No, you guys have triggered the alarm tonight, get them all back quickly!"
"I understand, Third Brother..."
"Don't let anyone follow you from behind!"
"Don't worry, Third Brother, I've been looking back all the way."
"Don't worry, can I be at ease!?"
Liu Ben was furious. Was this man their leader? He was clearly an adult, yet he actually instigated minors to steal money while hiding himself. If these minors were caught, their families would have to bear the responsibility for their children. But this man might get away with it because there was no direct evidence to prove his guilt.
And they said that it wasn't these few people who went there last time, which means that this adult has more than one team of minors under his command.
Liu Ben listened to a few people who seemed to be talking on the phone. After thinking for a while, he saved the recording, hid in the pile of debris, and found a slightly cleaner place that could not be seen from outside to sit down.
About ten minutes later, the sound of a motor approached from the alley entrance. Liu Ben became alert, carefully hiding behind some debris to peek out. He also switched his phone to camera mode and started recording. His phone was old, and the camera's recordings at night weren't very clear, with a lot of noise. He needed to find a replacement.
People came in from the alley one after another. These people were obviously minors of different ages, but not too old. They were wearing ill-fitting clothes for ordinary people, and some were even smoking. They walked into the flat-roofed house in a casual manner.
Over the next half hour, people continued to arrive, shocking Liu Ben. So many people? It turned out to be a large-scale thief gang!
Liu Ben waited for a while, but no one came. Then he heard the man shouting from the house. Liu Ben quietly approached the door and gently touched it, and the door opened slightly.
Inside the door, several men with bad looks, who were obviously not good people, were sitting or squatting at the front, while those bad boys who were standing in a mess all looked at the men, and whispered a few words to the people around them from time to time.
"What we do is not a bad thing. It's called robbing the rich to help the poor. Think about it, your parents work so hard like slaves, just to work like dogs for people like that, and only then they earn such a little money to bring home." The bearded man in the lead made a "little bit" gesture with his blackened thumb and index finger, and continued: "Just imagine their ugly faces! Pah!" He spat.
"The money we get is nothing to them, maybe just one day's income, but it's enough for us brothers to eat and drink for a whole week. Isn't it obvious who gets the better deal?!"
"Isn't that right?"
Another disheveled man spoke up, and his first words were threats: "Don't even think about quitting, you bastard. Anyone who quits is a jerk. If you're exposed, you'll never be able to hold your heads up high again, and your families will suffer too. The best we can do is start over somewhere else."
The bearded man looked around, making sure the children's eyes were full of obedience. Only then, feeling somewhat satisfied, did he say, "Alright, I'm calling you back this time for no other reason than to listen carefully to the mission I'm assigning you. Don't act on your own. Ah Liu and his team messed around and set off a house alarm. Don't go out tonight. Stay put for a few days. Ah Liu will give us all 5,000 yuan."
"Boss, I, I don't have any money..."
"If you don't have money, go get some! You have to remember this lesson!"
Liu Ben frowned as he heard this. He looked down at the screen of his mobile phone. The recording should be clear enough and sufficient. He turned off the video and called the police.
After hanging up the phone, Liu Ben put the phone into his trouser pocket. He took another look at the scene in the room, carefully examined the structure of the room, and asked the system Big Cat some questions. Then he had a rough idea in his mind.
Liu Ben pushed the door open directly, making a loud "bang".
Everyone in the room was startled and stood up to look at the door.
Liu Ben shouted righteously, "What are you doing? You're actually instigating a minor to commit a crime!"
The eyes of several adult men darkened, and they immediately looked outside vigilantly over Liu Ben's back, thinking that many people were coming. However, they could see through the door that there was no one outside, and only this one person broke in.
Several people stared at Liu Ben. He was just an ordinary young man. When they looked at each other, they realized that he was a greenhorn.
The bearded man winked at the person closest to the door, signaling him to close it. Then he approached and said slowly, "What did we do? We didn't do anything."
"Don't play dumb, I heard everything!" Liu Ben shouted like a fool.
At this time, the person closest to the door quickly ran over and locked the door, then looked at Liu Ben and smiled maliciously.
Liu Ben immediately looked back and saw that the door was locked. In order to prevent him from escaping, the man locked it with a key and threw the key to another person in the distance, who then passed it to the bearded man.
Liu Ben turned around and saw many people approaching him, smiling. There were also many delinquents who looked uneasy, turning their heads as if looking for a place to escape.
The bearded man glanced at the restless young men with a warning, then looked at Liu Ben, swung his keys with his index finger, and grinned, "No one can leave now!"
Liu Ben suddenly smiled: "How could it be?"
He slowly backed away to the door, and just when everyone thought he was determined to open the door, Liu Ben picked up a large rusty iron cabinet by the door with one hand and placed it at the door with a bang.
"Now it's really impossible for anyone to leave."
Of course, this does not include Liu Ben himself.
