Chapter 99: White lies destroying other people’s property…
Chapter 99
"Brother, so you really have to go to work." Lin Mujin thought that cousin Lin's crappy class was completely hopeless, but the result was a reversal.
Cousin Lin smiled and said, "Well, it'll probably take about a month to finish some leather props from the Republican era. I just want to give it a try. If it doesn't suit me, I'll officially quit. By then, my part-time job will become a full-time job."
Lin Mujin said, "I wish so. Brother, you won't waste more time, right?"
Cousin Lin understood immediately, "It won't delay your trip to the inland."
What else could Lin Mujin say? "Then, brother, just focus on your work."
——————
Time passed quickly, and Lin Mujin began to pack her luggage for the trip inland.
In addition to the backpack, she decided to buy a suitcase.
Because she might buy a lot of things, she directly chose the largest size.
It's very cold inland, so you must bring a thin sweater, jacket, and windbreaker.
But this is not enough.
She's going to Beijing, and wearing these will freeze her chin off.
So she decided to go to Guangdong to buy cotton jackets and trousers.
She didn't make this decision casually.
First of all, clothes in Hong Kong are very expensive, but that’s not the main reason. Due to the climate, there are no thick cotton clothes at all.
Even if you buy the thickest ones in Hong Kong, you will still have a runny nose when you get to Beijing.
So it’s better to go inland to buy clothes. The styles of clothes there may not be as novel, but the price and warmth are definitely no problem.
Second, she and her brother had brought a lot of money, which increased the danger.
So wearing local clothes is also a good disguise.
She also plans to bring some Hong Kong specialties to use as "gifts" when the time comes.
Isn't it okay to be too polite?
She bought ten cassettes of Teresa Teng's "Comrades: Almost a Love Story" album.
She had thought carefully about buying the tapes.
It is not expensive, and it is difficult for people inland to buy it.
I also bought two sets of Jin Dada's martial arts novels.
She had bought a hardcover collector's edition before, and she definitely didn't want to give it away, so she had to buy two regular sets.
The price is also within acceptable range.
She was almost ready and was just waiting for her cousin Lin to finish work to get the pass, but she didn't expect something to go wrong.
Cousin Lin was taken to the police station on charges of damaging other people's finances.
There was a bit of chaos at home.
How did they know? It turned out that cousin Lin didn't come back for dinner. They didn't pay much attention to it at first, thinking he was working overtime.
But when he didn't come back after eight o'clock, the Lin family couldn't sit still anymore.
Lin Muli rode his bicycle and carried his two sisters to his cousin Lin's company.
But it was already dark there, and it was obvious that they had already finished get off work.
Cousin Lin cried anxiously, "What should I do? There is no one in the company. Where did he go?"
Lin Mujin also frowned, because Cousin Lin had never come to work before and he had no familiar colleagues. Now they had no idea where to start even if they wanted to find out any information.
Suddenly she thought of the police station. It was from the police station that she asked about the Hong Kong China News Agency last time.
"Sister, let's go to the nearby police station and ask if there are any passersby injured in a fight between gangsters, or if there are any traffic accidents."
Cousin Lin was already at a loss, but after hearing this, she perked up a little. "Right, right, let's go ask."
The three siblings asked for directions twice before they found the place. Fortunately, there was a police station on duty.
They all asked the sir on duty questions.
The sir was a little impatient, "He's only been missing for one day, less than 24 hours, why can't we call the police?"
Lin Mujin took a deep breath and tried to make herself clear. "Sir, we're not calling the police. We're just trying to find out if there's any gang fights or car accidents nearby. I'm worried that my brother might have been injured by mistake."
Sir shook his head, "It's very quiet today."
Cousin Lin couldn't help crying, covering her face and sobbing, "Where is my brother? A living person is gone, wuwuwu..."
The police officer was a little overwhelmed by the crying, and his attitude softened a lot. "Don't cry, hey, it doesn't necessarily take 24 hours to report the crime. If you think the other person might be in danger, I can help you register it."
Cousin Lin didn't care to cry anymore, "My brother is very family-oriented. If nothing happened, he wouldn't leave home without saying hello. My dad is in poor health, and he won't let him worry."
Lin Muli was also sniffing at this time, tears welling up in his eyes, "Sir, please help me."
Lin Mujin wiped her eyes and said, "Sir, my brother is Lin Mubai, this year..."
The sir waved his hand to stop him, "Wait, what's your brother's name?"
Cousin Lin was surprised for a moment, then quickly said, "Linmubai, the bai of baishu."
Lin Mujin asked excitedly, "Sir, have you heard of this name?"
The officer was inexplicably nervous under the gaze of three pairs of eyes. He swallowed and nodded, "Yes, I've heard of it. We arrested someone today who seemed to have this name."
Lin Mujin stared at him, "Are you sure? What's the charge?"
The sir thought for a moment and said, "It seems that it is financial damage, which meets the standard for filing a case."
Lin Mujin asked, "Is Brother in your police station? Can we see him now?"
The sir shook his head, "You can't see him, but you can find a lawyer."
Lin Mujin pulled cousin Lin and said to Lin Muli, "Let's go back first. Uncle is still at home. We can't stay outside for too long."
Lin Muli asked, "What about brother?"
Lin Mujin said, "He is at the police station. We can't see him right now. He must be safe. I will ask a lawyer to see him tomorrow."
She remembered Lawyer Li who came to her house last time to help Mrs. Zhang handle the contract. She felt that he was very professional and would call him for consultation tomorrow.
"Sister, don't cry. Now that we know that brother is not injured, we don't have to worry so much. As for..., we will ask a lawyer to meet brother tomorrow and then talk to him. I don't believe that brother would deliberately damage other people's finances." Lin Mujin has now become a conspiracy theory.
Don’t think it was someone else who damaged it and then wants to blame it on Cousin Lin because he’s afraid of taking responsibility.
Lin Mujin didn't expect that the truth was about 60% similar to what she guessed.
Cousin Lin shook her head. "Brother won't do that. He's not a careless person."
Lin Mujin patted cousin Lin's back and soothed her, "Sister, brother will be fine. We'll find out the truth tomorrow after hiring a lawyer. We have to trust brother, he will be fine. Don't cry, your eyes are swollen and it will be difficult to tell uncle later."
Cousin Lin quickly wiped her tears and said, "Well, I won't cry, I won't cry."
Lin Mujin sincerely thanked the teacher and took her siblings out.
The three of them did not ride their bikes immediately, but pushed them home.
They were discussing how to talk to Uncle Lin.
Should I tell a white lie?
If I tell the truth, what should I say to make the old man feel better?
