Chapter 52 Call the Police
"Sister, what are you doing? Why are you looking around? Did you drop something?" Jiang Panyu deliberately asked Tan Yanlu.
Tan Yanlu finally woke up from her dream, and she shook her head: "No... I didn't leave anything behind, it's just a little weird, I feel like I haven't finished something yet.
But I couldn’t remember it for a moment. Forget it, I’ll go queue up first. Maybe I’ll remember it later! ”
After saying this, Tan Yanlu walked into the queue at the purchasing station and queued up. However, while queuing, her brows were furrowed and her heart began to ache and feel uncomfortable again, as if she had really forgotten something very important.
Jiang Panyu and Lian Xiuran found an open space on the side of the road and waited for Tan Yan to show up. Naturally, the two were speechless and turned their heads to look at the people coming and going on the roadside, presenting all kinds of life.
The team at the purchasing station moved forward little by little. Jiang Panyu felt a little hot in the sun, so he untied his scarf a little and drank a few sips of water.
When Tan Yanlu stepped into the threshold, the melon-eating system issued a task at the right time: [Ding, the event point is about to appear after scanning, please prepare for safety precautions, and protect yourself while eating melons and watching the show!
Mission rewards: a bag of comprehensive nutritional candy, a one-time skill of identifying treasures with wisdom eyes, and a bottle of disposable beauty cream]
Jiang Panyu perked up all of a sudden. According to his recollection of the incident, after Tan Yanlu walked out of the purchasing station with a huge sum of money, she was followed.
Tan Yanlu realized something was wrong halfway through her journey, but it was too late. She was dragged into an alley by several gangsters and robbed.
Jiang Panyu felt that this must be a gang crime. After all, there were people coming and going in the purchasing station. How did those criminals know that Tan Yanlu had so much money on her?
Therefore, it could only be that an insider leaked the information, causing the criminals to target Tan Yanlu.
So how can she break this situation now? Jiang Panyu was thinking, his eyes unconsciously scanning the people coming and going around him.
Then, she made a strange "hmm" sound, looked in a certain direction a few times, and her expression became a little solemn.
"What's wrong? What happened?"
Jiang Panyu was startled by the sudden sound of someone talking in her ear. She turned around and found that it was Lian Xiuran who was asking her a question.
Lian Xiuran actually didn't want to pay attention to Jiang Panyu, but seeing how serious her expression was, Lian Xiuran thought about it and said something of concern, but he didn't expect to scare her.
Jiang Panyu glanced at Lian Xiuran and said, "I saw a strange person. He walked back and forth here several times. I thought he was waiting for someone.
But just now I saw a knife behind him, it was a thin knife for killing fish, but no one sells or kills fish here! Moreover, that person was very fierce, looking around everywhere, and he didn't seem like a good person. ”
Lian Xiuran subconsciously looked around and asked, "Which one?"
Jiang Panyu lowered his head and pretended to organize his things: "That's the one who was half leaning against the stone pillar and smoking over there. He was wearing a loose and somewhat tattered coat."
Lian Xiuran followed Jiang Panyu's instructions and saw the person standing next to the stone pillar. It was indeed very strange, considering it was December.
It was icy and snowy in the northern province in December. Even though the weather was good today, everyone was dressed warmly. Unlike that man, his coat was open.
If the man really had a knife on his back, the open coat would have made it easier for him to draw the knife.
Lian Xiuran did not come from a small family, because almost all of his family members were employed by the government, and through the influence of their family, he developed a very keen observation ability.
The purchasing station and food station are so busy today, especially the food station where people come to hand in their pigs for assignment. People coming out of the food station basically have the money from selling pigs. This is one of the few places in the countryside where you can make a lot of money.
If someone wanted to create some chaos or something, it would be too easy for him to do so. Lian Xiuran subconsciously thought of it in a bad direction.
Lian Xiuran could no longer stand, and he told Jiang Panyu, "You stay here and watch the things. I'll go out for a walk."
After saying that, he walked away. Before Jiang Panyu could stop him, he had already gone far away.
Jiang Panyu was naturally too lazy to chase him. She was thinking that fate was bound to happen, which meant that Tan Yanlu would definitely be robbed.
In the mermaid's memory, Tan Yanlu was alone and weak, so she could not defeat the robbers. What if she found more people?
Just like the last time when the little gangsters teased Tan Yanlu, because there were enough people on their side, they solved the problem in one go, and they easily reversed the direction of the situation. It is still applicable now, the tricks are old but not new, as long as they work.
By that time, there will be so many people and the gangsters won't be stupid enough to jump out to rob with so many people. Even if they are stupid enough to jump out, won't the gangsters themselves be the ones who will be in trouble?
But where could she find so many people to cooperate with them? Jiang Panyu's mind was turning over and over. Many ideas came to her mind, but she denied them herself. Just then a vague idea formed in her mind.
Lian Xiuran went out for a walk and came back. He looked a little serious: "I just went out for a walk and found that several people behaved very strangely. Their coats were all open."
Jiang Panyu thought for a while before he realized what Lian Xiuran meant. Yes, wouldn't it be cold to leave the coat open in this kind of weather?
Jiang Panyu could basically conclude at this time that these people with abnormal behavior were the gangsters who robbed Tan Yanlu in the plot, but she had no way to tell the truth, so she could only use a roundabout way: "How about going to the police station to report the case!"
Lian Xiuran was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "Okay, then you wait here, I'll go to the police station."
Jiang Panyu naturally couldn't let him leave now. If Tan Yanlu came out shortly after he left, the two girls would be no match for a group of armed criminals!
Jiang Panyu quickly stopped Lian Xiuran and said, "If you want to go, let's go together. You know those guys don't look right. There are so many people here today, they can't rob them one by one. They can only pick those who carry huge sums of money.
But how do they know which people carry a lot of money and which don't?
What if they don’t want to rob us but rape us? What if we two girls are robbed by them? Tan Yanlu is so beautiful, what if something happens? Aren't you worried about her safety? ”
"What you said makes sense. You wait here first. I'll go to the purchasing station to find Tan Zhiqing." Lian Xiuran said as he walked towards the purchasing station in two or three steps.
At the purchasing station, Tan Yanlu waited in line for a long time. When it was almost her turn, Lian Xiuran suddenly came and told her about the situation outside. Tan Yanlu's heart skipped a beat and a feeling of uneasiness spread throughout her body.
She didn't expect that such a thing would happen in this simple era. If it was really as Lian Xiuran and Jiang Panyu suspected, then the internal staff of the food station and the purchasing station were probably not clean.
Tan Yanlu could think of the ginseng in her backpack. If she sold it, it would cost at least a hundred yuan.
A pig only costs a few dozen dollars. Between a few dozen dollars and over a hundred dollars, which one would those people rob? There is no doubt that it is the one that grabs more.
If that was the case, the ginseng couldn't be sold now for safety reasons, so Tan Yanlu didn't want to stay at the purchasing station any longer: "Okay, then let's go quickly. It would be bad if something happened later."
The two of them left the purchasing station together. Jiang Panyu had already packed up the things and was waiting for them.
The police station in the town is actually not far from the purchasing station, just around two streets.
The police station is a large yard with a few bicycles parked at the door. One glance outside gives you a solemn feeling.
As soon as the three people entered the yard, they attracted the attention of the office staff. Lian Xiuran stepped forward and introduced the identities of the three of them to the office staff: "Hello, comrade, we are educated youth from Liansheng Village. My name is Lian Xiuran, this is Tan Yanlu, and this is Jiang Panyu. We have discovered something and want to report it to you."
The person who came to greet them was a young man with a square face, who introduced himself as Chen.
Then they were brought into the office by Officer Chen. There was no suspense after that. Lian Xiuran and Jiang Panyu told him about their discovery.
It immediately attracted attention. Perhaps it was because in this simple era, vicious incidents were rare, so once one happened it would be taken extremely seriously.
The police station immediately sent out two office staff, who were also plainclothes officers, to avoid alerting the suspects.
Jiang Panyu and his team had nothing to do with the rest, but they couldn't leave yet. After all, the office staff couldn't just believe Jiang Panyu and his team's one-sided story, they had to investigate first.
About half an hour later, one of the people who had been sent out earlier came back and confirmed that what Jiang Panyu and the others had said was true. 《》
The police station immediately took the matter more seriously and sent more than a dozen plainclothes officers to stake out purchasing stations and food stations. ［］
There was nothing else for Jiang Panyu and the others to do after that, so the staff asked them to go back first. 【】
But Jiang Panyu thought about the next plot point and proposed an idea to Officer Chen: "Officer Chen, I have an idea. Have you ever thought about luring the snake out of its hole? ()
You can take a very valuable item to a purchasing station to exchange for money, or you can drive a few pigs to a food station to exchange for money. In short, the amount of money you get in exchange must be very high and astonishing. （）
This will definitely attract other people's attention. If someone in the food station or purchasing station is bribed, that person will definitely leak the news. They will definitely not miss such a large sum of money.
If they really came to rob, the staff could have arrested them. ”
Officer Chen nodded and said, "This method is not impossible. Let me report it to the higher-ups and see if it can be implemented. You guys can do it here first."
Officer Chen left in a hurry after he finished speaking. Jiang Panyu turned around and found that Tan Yanlu and Lian Xiuran were staring at her. Jiang Panyu asked in confusion: "Why are you looking at me like that?"
Tan Yanlu shook her head and said, "Nothing, I'm just surprised that you would give Officer Chen some advice, but I think the method you mentioned is still feasible." ()
Lian Xiu Ran commented: "The idea is quite good, but where can we find something valuable to exchange for money at the purchasing station in such a short time?
Moreover, the food station only accepts pigs. Even if we go to find a few pigs now, it will be too late. I am afraid that Officer Chen and others will not adopt this idea. ”
Jiang Panyu didn't say anything. There was no time to find a few pigs now, but Tan Yanlu had valuable things. The white and plump ginseng in her backpack was quite valuable.
Lian Xiuran's words reminded Tan Yanlu, and she thought of the purpose of her going to the purchasing station.
At this time, Officer Chen came back with a look of disappointment on his face: "I reported this idea to my superiors, and they have thought about it, but we don't have the tools for sting operations, so this idea has been shelved."
"Officer Chen, if I can provide help, can this method be implemented?" It was Tan Yanlu who spoke.
"That's true, but..." Before Officer Chen could finish his words, Tan Yanlu took out the long cloth bag from her backpack.
Tan Yanlu opened the cloth bag, revealing the plump white ginseng inside: "Officer Chen, please take a look at this first. I was originally going to take it to a purchasing station to sell it, so why not let you help me sell it.
In this way, I get the money, and you have the tools to carry out sting operations. It's a win-win situation. Officer Chen might as well report this to his superiors. ”
As soon as the cloth bag was opened, everyone smelled the unique aroma of ginseng. Officer Chen was dumbfounded: "This is ginseng, right? Where did you get such a good thing?"
"I dug this from the mountain when I was collecting firewood in the fall. I originally wanted to keep it as a family heirloom, but I'm short of money recently so I want to sell it for money." Without blinking, Tan Yanlu made up the origin of this ginseng.
There are indeed a lot of wild ginseng in the mountains of the Northern Province, but except for professional mountain hikers, others have to rely on a bit of luck to dig ginseng.
Tan Yanlu is probably one of those lucky people, and Officer Chen is not suspicious about this.
Instead, he said happily, "In that case, I'll report this to my superiors." Then he left excitedly, and his footsteps sounded brisk.
After Officer Chen left, Tan Yanlu wrapped up the ginseng, still thinking about how to explain to Jiang Panyu and the others when she had dug up the ginseng.
After all, we are all from the same village, and everyone knows where they come and go. This is another reason why we might be suspected if we are not careful.
Unexpectedly, Jiang Panyu was the first to speak: "You are so good, Tan Yanlu, you don't even call me sister after you got rich, you are too disloyal, no no, if I find out today, you have to treat me."
Jiang Panyu certainly knew that this ginseng was grown by Tan Yanlu, but she had to pretend not to know to cover it up for Tan Yanlu and get some benefits at the same time.
Lian Xiuran was the one who didn't know the truth. After hearing what Tan Yanlu and Jiang Panyu said, he naturally believed that the ginseng was dug out by Tan Yanlu herself. He also said jokingly, "It is said that whoever sees it gets a share. If Tan Zhiqing wants to treat us to a meal, I can't miss my share."
Tan Yanlu was no longer nervous. She relaxed her shoulders, nodded and said, "No problem. Our village is going to slaughter the New Year pig. I'll buy a few more pounds of meat and show you how to cook it. But we have to make it clear that there are only three of us and no more."
"If you can eat one more bite, I will definitely not tell anyone, so don't worry, sister."
"Then it's a deal."
As they were talking, Officer Chen came back. He did not come back by himself. Two leaders followed him: "Comrade Tan, are you really willing to give us the ginseng to use as a tool?"
