Chapter 310
"You just told the store owner that you came to Nanning from another place? Where are you from? Do you have your ID with you?" The public security comrade felt that his accent was wrong and asked.
"I...I was in a hurry to go out and forgot to bring my ID."
"What are you doing in Yongcheng? Do you have any relatives or friends here?"
"I came to visit my relatives, but I couldn't find anyone, so I was about to leave."
"Which guesthouse are you staying at? We'll go back with you to get your documents and see if we can help you find your relatives."
Fang Dazhi shook his head repeatedly, and said in a somewhat panicked voice: "No, no, no! It's not a big deal, no need to make so much trouble."
The battle-hardened police officer had already noticed something was amiss and said, "If this card swap was truly malicious, it wouldn't be a simple misunderstanding. Come back to the station with us. We'll take your statement first, then we'll take you back to the card. Oh, and someone from the store would be best to come along, too."
Even if Fang Dazhi was reluctant this time, he had to go to the police station. Su Miao and Su Yuanzheng also had to go. After all, it was related to the reputation of their store, so they had to get to the bottom of everything.
Arriving at the police station, they were taken to a small room. The Su family father and daughter sat aside to listen. The police officer took the notebook, sat down, and said to Fang Dazhi, "Tell me, where did you get the cards? Did you make them yourself or did you have an accomplice?"
Fang Dazhi was stunned for a moment, and suddenly felt his scalp tingling. He said anxiously: "Comrade Public Security, what are you talking about? Didn't I just say that I bought the shredded papaya?"
The police officer shook his head and chuckled, "With your eyes darting around and your speech incoherent, there are so many loopholes. If we can't see them, we'd be wearing these clothes for nothing. We're giving you face by arresting you before you're even in the store. You'd better be smart and confess."
Seeing that he kept his head down and didn't speak, the police officer said, "Okay, then let's start from the beginning. What's your name and where is your hometown?"
“…My name is…My name is…”
The public security comrade suddenly threw the pen in his hand onto the table with a "bang" sound, and Fang Dazhi was obviously frightened.
"What! You don't even remember your own name? Don't refuse a toast and then drink a forfeit."
Finally, Fang Dazhi said in a low voice: "My name is Wu Dazhi, and I'm from Yongcheng."
"Hey, Wu Dazhi, didn't you say you were from out of town? You're such a boast! Don't even bother with your accent. Where did that fake card come from? Stop telling us you were buying shredded papaya, or you'll take us to that store right now."
Wu Dazhi had no way of explaining the nonexistent store, but the origin of the card was difficult to explain.
Seeing him start to play dead again, the police officer closed the notebook and said, "Alright, since we can't get anything out of you, let's convict you based on the facts. You're suspected of fraud and extortion, and 999 is a large sum. Let's keep him in jail for a few days and starve him a few times."
When Wu Dazhi heard such a serious accusation, he panicked and said anxiously, "No, no, no! Public Security comrade, I didn't forge the card! I didn't blackmail you! I really didn't know the card was fake! If I had known, I wouldn't have claimed the prize!"
"Then tell me quickly! Where did the card come from?"
"I...I stole from my coworker."
Wu Dazhi finally revealed the origin of the card. After all, if it was just a theft, he could just return the item and apologize.
But if you commit fraud or blackmail, then it's all over, you will definitely lose your job.
"What unit do you work for? Tell me when, where, and how the theft occurred, and who the owner is."
…
After a period of questioning, Wu Dazhi explained everything that had happened.
He is an employee of a tire factory. Because he is a bachelor and has no professional title, he did not apply for a housing quota and now lives in a dormitory.
There were four people living in their dormitory, and one of them liked to collect cards. He would wrap the cards and put them under the mat, and he would often take them out to look at them.
The worker who had been drinking before said that they only had one card left and they could redeem the prize once they collected that card. The others also joked that they should remember to treat them to a big meal after they received the prize.
The day before yesterday, Wu Dazhi felt a headache when he went to work, so he asked for leave to go back and rest. When he pushed the door open, he saw his co-worker Xiao Meng hurriedly stuffing something under the pillow.
He felt it was very strange, after all, normally everyone would put everything they had on display, and a bunch of grown men wouldn't hide anything.
So he went in calmly, greeted Xiao Meng, and asked him why he didn't go to work. Xiao Meng said that he had taken a leave to go home and was about to go back to work.
Wu Dazhi said he had a headache and went to bed pretending to sleep without talking to Xiao Meng much.
Seeing that he seemed not to notice his action, Xiao Meng hid the card back under the mat. After a while, he saw Wu Dazhi began to snore, and thought that he really didn't see anything, so he left with peace of mind.
What Xiao Meng didn't know was that Wu Dazhi's snoring stopped as soon as he left.
After a few minutes, seeing that Xiao Meng had indeed left, Wu Dazhi tiptoed over and lifted his mat.
Among them was the "Great Sage Card" that Xiao Meng had been thinking about and had mentioned many times to other workers.
Wu Dazhi thought to himself, no wonder he was in such a panic, it turns out he had collected all the cards!
It is obvious from his attitude that he doesn't want to tell anyone. Is he afraid that they will ask him to treat him, or is he afraid that they will come to borrow money? This Xiao Meng is too stingy!
After all, Wu Dazhi came here to steal other people's things, so he didn't dare to look for too long. After returning the mat to its original state, he lay back on his bed and thought about this and that.
In fact, he wouldn't be able to tell the difference even if you showed him, because he usually just eats Xiao Meng's papaya shreds with his meals and has never bought them himself, so naturally he has never collected any cards.
The more he thought about it, the more uncomfortable he felt. 999! What a huge sum of money!
Why can’t it be his own? It’s enough for him to make so many appointments to get his hair done!
After much thought, he decided to keep these cards for himself and claim the prize first.
Anyway, these cards are not real-name cards. Whoever takes them will get the money. If he gives a fake name, it will be difficult to find out even if someone checks.
He had made special plans for this purpose. He definitely couldn't take it now. Xiao Meng knew that he was left alone in the dormitory just now. If he disappeared now, he would be caught immediately.
So he tossed and turned all night with this evil thought in mind, and the next day he went to work with his fellow workers as usual.
In the middle of the day, he asked for leave on the grounds that his headache from yesterday had not gone away and was even worse, so he had to go to the hospital.
After asking for leave, he immediately left the factory and even spoke a few words to the security guard to deepen his impression.
Then, while the security guard wasn't paying attention, he crouched down and sneaked back.
