Seeing the expression on the bearded man's face, You Tianfu knew that he had indeed caught the right person this time. He didn't waste time escorting him to the entertainment city. He simply closed the door of the room and started interrogating him in the hotel.
The man was caught red-handed, but the bearded man had no intention of quibbling and knelt on the ground dejectedly.
You Tianfu stared at him and asked, "Do you know me?"
The bearded man sighed and nodded slightly. "I know you guys. You're from the entertainment city, and you're the boss. Now that we've been discovered, there's nothing to say. Take all the money. Beat or scold me, brothers. I just hope you can leave us alive."
If you must pay with your life, let them go, and I will give you my life!"
Hao Zhengguang walked across to him and narrowed his eyes. "I can leave him alive, but you have to tell us who's the boss behind this? And who's the third brother who's always selling counterfeit money?"
The bearded man shook his head: "There is no boss behind the scenes, and there is no third brother. If you must name someone, we are all the boss, we are all the third brother!"
These words were a bit confusing, and Lin Lidong was confused after hearing them. He raised his hand and put the knife to his neck: "Don't fucking talk nonsense. If you keep dithering and playing word games, I'll chop you first, and then chop them!"
The blade was extremely sharp, leaving a bloody mark on the back of his neck as soon as it touched the flesh. The bearded man felt the coldness, but his expression remained calm: "My last name is Ma Chengtian, and the four people next to me also have the last name Ma. They are my brothers who were born from the same mother.
We originally did smuggling business in the country, but later our business was exposed and our boss was arrested, so we had no choice but to flee to Myanmar.
In Myanmar, I met a supplier of counterfeit banknotes by chance. After we got to know each other, I started reselling them and making a profit from the difference.
These counterfeit bills are so well made that most people won't notice them. We follow the principle of moving from one location to another, traveling back and forth between different cities, looking for people to sell to or consumers to buy them, and then we start shipping them out.
In fact, we have been to Chinatown several times before, but we didn’t have very good sales channels. This time, when we heard the news that your entertainment city was opening, we thought of trying our luck again. As a result, things went surprisingly smoothly. For several days in a row, we spent hundreds of thousands of counterfeit bills without being noticed.
It was all due to greed. A few days ago, we only brought 50,000 in counterfeit bills, and we sold them all in just three days. We then returned to Myanmar and brought back another 100,000. We had planned to run away after selling everything, but who knew... we were still discovered...
When we were selling it, the five of us brothers took turns going out, and the name we publicly announced was "The Third Brother," but that was just a code name.
You Tianfu was very surprised that the bearded man could tell the whole story so frankly.
At this time, Murong Jie also emptied out all the cash in the two backpacks and counted them one by one. There were about 80,000 in cash and less than 50,000 in counterfeit bills. Based on the probability of one to three, it was relatively consistent with what they said and the accounts of the entertainment city.
Hao Zhengguang looked at all five of them again and found that they looked very similar. Their height and weight were almost the same, and their faces seemed to be carved from the same mold. The only difference was their beard and hairstyle.
Originally, several people were prepared to torture him severely, but the other party confessed so frankly, and told out everything he needed to say like beans pouring out of a bamboo tube.
The noisy room quieted down for a moment, and Murong Jie straightened his back. "The money they earned from selling counterfeit currency is indeed all here, but the real money was exchanged for fakes at a 1:3 ratio, and all of it was actually spent in the entertainment city. Even if we take all this cash into account, we're still losing tens of thousands of yuan!"
Almost all of this money was lost in the bar section. Lin Lidong had been fuming the entire time, always blaming himself for mismanagement. Now, he had finally uncovered the culprit and shouted, "Let's calculate how many tens of thousands we've lost. Each finger counts as a thousand, and those five people count as fifty fingers. I'll count and chop the price down!"
As he spoke, he had already pulled up one of the bearded man's arms, placed it on the table beside him, and was ready to attack.
Seeing the fierce light flashing in Lin Lidong's eyes, the bearded man knew that he was not trying to scare him. The eagerness on his face showed that he was really ready to take action.
His fingers were pressed firmly on the table, and a hint of nervousness finally appeared on the bearded man's calm face, with beads of sweat appearing uncontrollably on his forehead.
The four brothers standing nearby couldn't stand it any longer. The second brother immediately struggled and shouted, "I've been selling the most goods these days. If you want to chop someone off, chop me first!"
The third and fourth brothers chimed in, "They're just fingers, chop them off! 1,000 each, damn, it's worth it!"
Several people were arguing, but Lin Lidong's face turned cold and he said in a gloomy voice: "Don't worry, this bill is bigger than you think, everyone has a share!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Murong Jie also laughed: "Dongzi is right. Apart from the 80,000 in cash, we still lost at least 60,000. The five of you have a total of 50 fingers, and you have to sacrifice more than a dozen toes!"
After calculating the specific amount, Lin Lidong was about to take action, with the sharp knife already raised in the air, when the bearded man suddenly shouted loudly: "Wait!"
Everyone looked over, and the bearded man calmed down his nervousness and looked up at You Tianfu: "Everyone came out here to fight for their lives, all for the sake of money. I do it to make money, and you do it to make money too.
Yes, I made you lose money, but this is how we make a living, we have no other choice!
Having said that, this finger may be priceless to us, but is it really worth a thousand yuan to you? Even if you cut off my hands and feet, who would pay for it?
